Q: Back Pain And Terminology

I was injured nearly 2 years ago by getting struck from behind by 4 conveyor rollers that weigh 80 lbs. Ea. I was rendered unconcious and had seizures and severe cervical back pain for the entire time. My treating Dr., sent me for an mri and then on to a surgeon after steroid injections worsened the pain and usage of head and arms. I received a letter today from the surgon that uses words not in my field of knowledge and I was hoping for someone to speak coomonly to me about them, such as myeopathy, lhermitte's phenomonen, clonus, hyperreflexic in the patella.
