Default cervical mri, please review *pic*

Hi. I was in a pretty significant MVA end of 2012, and have neck, low back and shoulder pain with radiation in pretty much all extremeties. I have an image I'm attaching of my cervical MRI. Wondering if anyone could give me any input. I have non stop headaches, pain/tingling down my arms, a carpal tunnel like sensation and my hands keep falling asleep.

Hi, I'm afraid i am no help in translating MRI's . mine just look like a big mess to me. I'm so sorry about your accident. The thing that really caught my eye was the keep falling asleep part, i am having that problem since my last surgery. I never thought it was connected to spine, but since mine has been operated on almost all levels, maybe it is.

What are the doctors saying to you? Do you have a neurosurgeon, or spine surgeon?
Sorry i am no help .
Judy

I would definitely go to a spine surgeon or a neurosurgeon, not just a general ortho. The specialties have specialized. I have a spine surgeon and just love him. Unfortunately we have gotten to know each other pretty well.

I just reread your original post and realize you were talking about your hands falling asleep, not you falling asleep. I am such a dumb ass some times. I am having a problem where i fall asleep. I do often still wake up with one hand or another asleep.
Were you talking about while sleeping or just awake ? As you can see i have had significant surgery on all 3 levels with no motor vehicle accident. So i do have an understanding of the symptoms , or some of them anyway.
