Hi again my friend, I do have the previous MRI that was taken right before surgery. I also included the report that addresses the compression at 3/4.

At C3-4, there is a persistent 2 mm anterior subluxation of C4 below C3, with advanced disc degeneration and posterolateral vertebral body osteophytes much larger on the right side. There is also posterior facet moderate to advanced hypertrophy with ligamentum flavum hypertrophy. The anterior and posterior thecal sac defects cause a reduction in central canal diameter to an estimated 7 mm, a moderate to advanced AP central canal stenosis. Cord compression is present. Neural foraminal stenosis is advanced on the right and mild to moderate on the left. The right foraminal stenosis has increased since 2/14/2022. Since 2/14/2022, development of venous congestion/bone edema in the C3 and the C4 vertebral bodies.

That is what mine pretty much looked like but I was told that it was a herniated disc it absolutely was not.. that image resembles an image or imaging that I had seen during all of my research recently if you look at the lower end of the spinal canal you see the gray lines to the right of your spinal cord could resemble abscess or pus in your spinal canal maybe? I'm definitely not a doctor but I will find the imaging and post it for you.
