Jim,
When I look at a report, I am often focusing on the adjectives as much as the pathologies listed. Your impressions yield
6 milds,
1 mile to moderate
7 moderates
2 moderate to severe, and
4 severes.
You have a lot of pathology listed. You sound something like me... more severe pathology with less symptoms than might be expected with such significant pathology.
This is the opposite of what I experienced with my lumbar problems... films don't look that bad, but I had disabling pain.
Unfortunately, the MRI is only part of the story. It sounds like there is a lot wrong there, but trying to discover what the relevant pain generators are and which ones are fixable will be a difficult (and possibly impossible) process.
