Long story short,Iam almost 85 female witChatDoctorplex medical history,heart,stroke,AF,left carotid artery 50% stenosis, now had MRI due to weak legs,back and neck pain, back issues for years neck is new. MRI shows cervical spinal fluid is partially blocked from disc pressing on C3C4, my head feels whoosh and full and dizzy more so when I bend or active in the housework. Spinal surgeon says he won t touch me just go ahead a live my life. My question of deep concern after reading about CSF could I get demention,or any metal deteriation and it was mentioned watch my driving it would be risky because of whip lash .
Hi, The results of CSF blockage read from an MRI is highly insensitive when it comes to accurately determine anything do with exactly how much fluid surrounds the spinal cord.  My guess from reading your information is that you likely have a normal amount of fluid in your canal.  Imaging is a poor approach to determining exactly HOW MUCH CSF is around the spinal cord.  The AMOUNT of CSF in the central nervous system is entirely unrelated to the risk of acquiring cementing illnesses or not.  The comment on Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query.
