Weird neurological symptoms

I just had neck mri yesterday this is the result. The posterior fossa brain structures appear within normal limits. The brainstem appears normal. The cervical cord appears intact without evidence for any significant cord signal abnormality. Spinal canal appears normal without evidence for any abnormal masses or fluid collections. The craniocervical junction appears to be grossly intact.

Diffuse loss of normal T1 signal is identified in the visualized osseous structures. This is a nonspecific finding but can be seen with red marrow reconversion. There is no evidence of any significant bone marrow edema. No evidence of any significant fracture or suspicious marrow replacing lesion identified.

No evidence of any significant retropharyngeal fluid. Visualized soft tissues of the neck appear within normal limits. Normal flow void is identified in the visualized vasculature. Small cervical chain lymph nodes are identified, not pathologically enlarged. Remainder of the neck soft tissues appear within normal limits.

By level:
C2/C3: Small posterior disc ossified complex. No evidence of any significant neural foraminal narrowing or canal stenosis.

C3/C4: Small posterior disc ossified complex is noted with minimal left uncovertebral hypertrophy. Mild left neural foraminal narrowing. Right neural foramen is patent. There is minimal canal stenosis.

C4/C5: Small posterior disc ossified complex and uncovertebral hypertrophy with mild left neural foraminal narrowing. Right neural foramen is patent. There is no evidence of any significant canal stenosis.

C5/C6: Small posterior disc ossified complex with bilateral uncovertebral hypertrophy. Mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. Mild canal stenosis.

C6/C7: No significant canal or neural foraminal narrowing.

C7/T1: No significant canal or neural foraminal narrowing.

IMPRESSION:

1. Mild multilevel degenerative changes are identified in the cervical spine as described in detail above.
2. No evidence of any significant cord compression or cord signal abnormality.
3. Diffuse low T1 signal identified in the visualized osseous structures may be related to red marrow reconversion. No suspicious lesions or fracture.

It does seem like you have mild degenerative changes in your cervical spine and something going on with your bone marrow.

You may need to find a doctor to do a bone marrow biopsy. If you were my son, I would want to investigate why you have a “diffuse loss of normal T1 signal is identified in the visualized osseous structures…this is a nonspecific finding but can be seen with red marrow reconversion.” This may be causing some issues with blood. It would be good to see a hematologist.
