Copies of my MRI

So this is one of many pictures I have any opinions. Of course I know that no one here is a doctor just curious what you all think.

When the picture is on my screen I right clicked and saved to file. Then uploaded here.

It really was that simple for me.

I have a question.  How did you take copies of the MRI and put on the computer?  I have the disc but I am not sure how to take them and download them to here.

You have to remember too that the picture was taken when you were lying down. When you look at the herniation, you can see how that when you stand up and your brain is affected by gravity, that it could definitely compress near the foramen magnum. I know what you mean when you look at and think..really, this can cause all these problems? But it can. I had to come to terms with it myself!!

I am definitely no doctor and cant really read an MRI.  However, what I do know by reading and researching is the size of the herniation isnt as important as much as crowding and blockage.  What happens during systole and pressure pushes everything down to squeeze the fluid out?  That is the reason you need a Cine MRI if you havent had one.

It doesn't look anywhere near as bad as I thought it would for as bad as my headaches are.
