my results cervical and brian HELP?

One doctor did say i have a straight neck last year...I finally got the actual reports that say:

There is multilevel miniaml degernerative chages of the tthoarsic spine findings porably most prominant at t12 and small discs protrusions partially effacing the ventral CSF with slight deformity of the ventral cord.
NO evidence for cord signal abnormalility at any level.

Successful fluroscopic guided LP

Straightening of the normal cervical lordosis possibly secondary from muscle spasms or postering. No evidence
of a cervical fracture. Therte is subtle concave left cervical lordoasis of c-spine.



LP - 22 cc of clear csf


ALSO mild mucoperisoteal thickening involving the right sphenoid sinus. Right sphenoid sinus/mucus retention cyst the orbits are normal.

Went to my Neurologist, and he read the reports, he didn't say much about my neck this time .just that he wants me to get another cervical and brain MRI done and see him in 2 weeks.


Going to research some chiari specialist in maryland and hope to get some answers,
none of the drs Ive seen think its a csf leak now....to me its a possibility.

Yeah, I believe its gotten really bad...my latest symptoms are

facial pain. - cheek bone and above eyes
neck and back of head burning
tingling / pins needsles in face and arms
shock like sensations in my face
my eyes i dunno why are killing me, they feel really dry
hurts when I strain - on the toilet, and coughing...

Its weird, I dont think all of this could be caused by the lordosis..?
I am going to my nuero today as well.

  This is evidence that u have the loss of the curve of ur cervical lordosis...and PT will most likely help u quite a bit.....

The other issues r not biggies at this time.....the  lordosis  is in my opion what is causing ur pain or should I say the muscles that r all twisted the wrong way causing the  issue...once u have them relaxed u will feel sooooooooooo much better.
