Irritability
Hey Simeoni,
Your journey is definitely strange like mine. Doctors love to look at an MRI and hide behind the images and not want to dig any further.
My symptoms are constantly in my feet. Three docs think the cord is getting compressed at C6/7. I was told spinal irritability is when the cord keeps getting compressed by either the disc or the bone. The bruising of it will irritate it and many docs here agree that it's critical to stop the cord from bending where it's been bruised. Maybe that's what's happening with yours? Bertagnoli said that it's OK for the cord to bend at C6/7 while every single surgeon in the US says no way! Crazy. Don't know who to believe. All I know is my life is over until I get out of this brutal pain 
Did you have instability?
Tom
