@ericcarr I'd like to extend my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.

It must be extremely unnerving and confusing to receive an MRI result that you cannot interpreted and that has not been interpreted for you. May I ask if you have an upcoming appointment to go over the results and/or have you considered contacting the facility for answers regarding the results?

You will notice that I added a potentially related discussion to the spine health group. I did this so you could potentially connect with members that have similar questions.

Below I have linked a source that discussed the c8 nerve and a previous related discussion on Connect. You may wish to scroll through the previous discussion for information and potential member connection.

You mentioned "impact." May I ask exactly what kind of impact, how long ago, and what kind of physical symptoms you are having?
