Cervical stenosis: Leg weakness

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"

Sorry, the previous was the regular xray to check for the listhesis. Here is the MRI summary in case anyone has any input on what this all means:
C2-C3: Facet arthropathy, mild ligamentum flavum thickening uncovertebral
hypertrophy and disc osteophyte complex with mild-to-moderate canal
narrowing. There is mild-to-moderate left foraminal narrowing..

C3-C4: Facet arthropathy, right greater than left, uncovertebral hypertrophy,
and disc osteophyte complex abutting and-or minimally flatten the ventral
cord with mild-to-moderate canal narrowing. Mild-to-moderate left foraminal
narrowing

C4-C5: Facet arthropathy uncovertebral hypertrophy and posterior osteophytic
ridging with mild right and mild-to-moderate left foraminal narrowing..
C5-C6: Facet arthropathy uncovertebral hypertrophy posterior osteophytic
ridging without significant stenosis..
C6-C7: Facet arthropathy, ligamentum flavum thickening, uncovertebral
hypertrophy, and disc osteophyte complex with mild-to-moderate canal
narrowing. Suggestion of moderate bilateral foraminal narrowing..
C7-T1: Facet arthropathy uncovertebral hypertrophy and disc osteophyte
complex without significant canal stenosis. Moderate right and
moderate-to-severe left foraminal narrowing..

IMPRESSION:

1. C4-C6 ACDF which appears well incorporated. Spondylosis most pronounced
at the C3-C4 and C6-7 transitional levels with mild-to-moderate canal
narrowing at these two aforementioned levels.
2. Moderate right and moderate-to-severe left foraminal narrowing at C7-T1.
3. There is suggestion of moderate bilateral foraminal narrowing at C6-7.
