Thanks for the info on that! I have come up with some questions for my doc based on some info I have seen regarding whether I need to look into an EMG for the numbness in the extremities, whether the cervical issues could be causing my intermittent swallowing issues (I had always chalked that up to my ongoing GI issues but... ) and also I've started to notice some breathing issues that feel a lot like "tired" lungs, like after a big day of hiking or swimming, so I need to ask about that too. I thought maybe that was related to seasonal allergies as FL has something blooming all year round but now I am not so sure...

Well, here is what today's cervical MRI showed. Although, I am still working my way through what this all means but it seems like I have vertebrae sliding in both directions?

" Straightening of the cervical spine. C4-C6 ACDF which appears
intact and well-seated. Grade 1 anterolisthesis of C2 and C3 and C3 and C4.
Grade 1 retrolisthesis of C6 on C7 disc space narrowing at the C6-7
transitional level with endplate sclerosis and ventral osteophytosis.
Diffuse facet arthropathy uncovertebral hypertrophy.
Flexion/extension views demonstrate no evidence of instability"
