Is radiculopathy the same as Mylopathy and what is paraethesias?

Is radiculopathy the same as Mylopathy and what is paraethesias?

X-Rays show I have severe spondiloses of the cervical spine, and spondiloses of thoracic and lumbar spine with, narrowing of disc spaces and ostephyte formation
Scoliosis of mid-thoracic and lumbar spine
I also have pain down my right leg and tremor in my right arm

I recently saw a Nurologist who said I had considerable wear and tear in the cervical spine and the lumbosacral spine with radiculopathy and paraethesias.


I was given Gabapentin and Amitriptyline

I had MRI of the Cervical Spine was told that operation not possible as problem was to wide apart. Was not offered a Lumbar MRI. Given Amitriptyline to help me sleep at night because of pain and Gabapentine for spasms and told further investigation was not needed signed of to my GP.

I have since spoken to my GP and have asked for a second opinion as I am worried because my walking is getting worse

Please inform me about your MRI results, did you did a cervical or a lumbar MRI ? or Both ?
Why medications like Gabapentine (centrally acting analgesic) and Amitriptyline (antidepressant) are given to you ? is it because you refused to be operated ?
Sorry for my numerous questions but I need more information
sincerly Dr Nassim
