I have since had another MRI on my spine with contrast and one on my brain. I don't go back to see the DR until the end of the month and just wondered if anyone has any info on this.

Answers:
He didn't quite get across the message he was trying to. All we can do on this site is guess, but assuming he'd have said so had there been a tumor or herniated disc, he may have been trying to explain spinal stenosis, which you can google. Next time, take a notepad with you. Studies are pretty consistent that patients only hear about 20% of what their doctors tell them, and any memory aid is helpful.
Did the doctor say what kind of blockage?

Blood supply blockage or?
