Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

Based on your description, it is difficult to find out the problem in your MRI. So, I request you to upload the pictures of your MRI on this website. Then, we would be in a better position to diagnose your problem.

Mainly, we need to look for compression of the spinal cord or nerves in the cervical region, which can result in pain and weakness.

I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
