after MRI - the doc is saying that no serious condition exist and he does not understand why i am in so much pain

Thoracic Spine - Fibrofatty marrow as a generalized finding.  area of low signal on the T1 and T2 data set involving the T9 vertebral body, most likely an area of sclerosis.  T3-T4: Right-sided HNP 4mm in AP dimension mildly effacing the right hemicord.  The remaining thoracic discs appear unremarkable without evidence of compressive discopathy or central canal stenosis or foraminal stenosis.

Lumbar Spine - Transitional vertebra in interpreted as L5 with a vestigial disc at L5-S1. If any surgical intervention is contemplated, careful correlation with this exam, intraoperative fluoroscopy and plain films is recommended to ensure intervention at the correct disc leel.
Based upon this numbering system, the highest visualized disc, visualized on the sagittal T2 data set, is T10-T11.
Fibrofatty marrow is noted as a generalized finding.
L2-L3: Shallow biforaminal protrusions more prominent on the left.  Mild facet arthropathy with mild narrowing of the inferior portion of the foramina left greater than the right. No evidence of nerve root compression.
L3-L4: Disc desiccation.  shallow bulging disc with annular rents foraminal and extraforaminal bilaterally.  Mild facet arthropathy with mild narowing of the inferior portion of the foramina bilaterally.  Minimal flattening of he ventral thecal sac by the bulging disc.
L4-L5: Shallow bulging disc. Facet arthropathy with mild biforaminal narrowing.
L5-S1: Vestigal disc is noted. No evidence of central canal stenosis or foraminal stenosis.

Cervical Spine: Fibrofatty marrow is noted.
C3-C4: shallow rightward disc-osteophyte complex barely effacing the thecal sac, not neurocompressive.
C4-C5: no evidence of compressive disc disease. Noncompressive disc displacement.
C5-C6: minimal disc displacement rightward, barely effacing the thecal sac, not neurocompressive.
C6-C7: shallow bulging disc that mildly effaces the thecal sac, not neurocompressive.
All cervical discs except C7-T1 are desiccated.
Minimal disc displacements/bulges at C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6 and C6-C7 level, effacing the thecal sac without evidence of cord compression.
