What Does The MRI Regarding Neck Pain And Tingling Sensation Behind Ear Indicate?
I had an MRI and the results are, Degenerative changes of the cervical spine mostly at c2-c3 where a prominent facet arthropathy in association with uncovertebral degenerative change results in moderate left neural foraminal stenosis. Moderate neuroforaminal stenosis is also noted on the left at c3-c4. I have pain on the left side of my neck and depending on how I move my head I get tingling sensation behind my left ear and radiates into my skull. I also get numbness in my left hand and tingling in my arm depending on how I hold my head, any suggestions?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The disk which is suppose to be between the two vertebrae when it moves posteriorly and causing the pressure effect on the nerves and the spinal chord which pass through the foramen and canal.
2.The degenerative changes are seen as an age related changes or excessive usage ( in a hard working ) where the joints get reduced space and bony changes.
3.Depending on the stage of compression, treat meant varies from simple exercises to neck support and interventions if necessary.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
