You may want to post this over on the neurology board on medhelp - there are several medical people and doctors there who seem to always be willing to talk about mri results.
Good luck - its pretty much Greek to me,

Hi there,
I think Laura has a good idea; try the ask a doctor part of the neurology forum; they only answer so many questions a day, so get it in early. I'm not sure what days or hours they work, but I've gotten good answers there, and replies when I've asked more questions.
Quix is feeling a little under the weather right now, a flu and some vertigo, and it is unclear how soon she would be able to get back to you. I'm sure there are some others here with some ideas about your MRI, but I would also try the ask a doctor neurology forum, if I were you.
How soon do you see your neuro for your next appointment when you can discuss these findings? I hope you find some answers soon, I know it can be frustrating to wait and wonder.
I don't know enough to help with answers, but I can empathize; my first neuro said my tremors were physiological, brought on by stress. My second neuro said they were benign essential tremors. I'm now seeing an MS specialist, and am still waiting for answers.
Good luck, and feel better.

My personal opinion is that with so many problems with the spine, it would be logical to assume that your symptoms are a result of that damage.
Balance issues come from the spinal nerves - if the spinal cord is affected, you can lose your sense of balance. You can also have numbness and lack of muscle control in your hands, as all those nerves go to the spine first, before they go to the brain.
Quix...glad to see you back...hope your feeling better...can you take a look at my MRI. thanks!!!
