How bad is this MRI?

I am a 49 yo female and work as an engineer. My work requires me to climb up and down sides of buildings and crawl around in mechanical rooms. I am concerned about the dangers involved in my employment and what the future may hold. Also.. I’m not sure how bad this MRI really is. To me, it looks really bad. Am I headed to surgery?
I have had shoulder pain for over 5 years. I never had it looked at until 2 weeks ago when a began to have extremely painful twinges in my left arm that radiate to my pinky and ring fingers. This is followed by tingling and numbness. It subsides until I move my arm the wrong way again.

Here is what my MRI says:
Findings:
There is straightening of cervical spine. No Marrow infiltrative process present.
The invertabral disks are diffusely dissected in the cervical spine. There is marked decreased disk height at C5-6 and C6-7 levels. There is mild type I Modic endplate degenerative changes present at the C5-6 level.

At C3-4 level, there is disk bulge with 1 mm central disk protrusion causing slight anterior thecal and cord inentation. There is no spinal canal narrowing. There is marked left facet hypertrophy present with moderate left neural foraminal stenosis.

At C4-5 level, there is a small 1 mm central disk protrusion with subtle anterior thecal and cord indentation. There is no spinal canal or foraminal narrowing. Left facet hypertrophy is present.

At C5-6 level, there is 1.5 mm posterior disk osteophyte complex causing anterior thecal and cord indentation with mild to moderate canal narrowing. There is mild unconvertebral and facet hypertrophic changes noted. The neural foramina appear patent.

At C6-7 level, there is a posterior disk osteophyte complex causeing thecal effacement with spinal cord indention and moderate canal stenosis. Unconvertebral and facet hypertrophic changes are present with mild to moderate left foraminal narrowing.

At C7-T1 level there is a disk bulge with a 1.5 mm central to left paracentral disk protrusion. Associated unconvertebral and facet hypertrophic changes are present. There is thecal as well as left anterolateral cord indention present with minimal spinal canal stenosis. There is also mild left foraminal narrowing.

Impresssion:
1. Straightening of cervical spine with maintained vertebral height and allignment. There is marked facet hypertrophy on the left side of the C3-4 level.
2. Multilevel spondylotic changes with moderate spinal canal narrowing at C6-7 level, mild to moderate spinal canal stenosis at C5-6 level and mild spinal canal narrowing at C7-T1 level.
3. Multilevel left sided foraminal narrowing described at C3-4, C6-7, and C7-T1 levels. Foraminal stenosis appears worse at C3-4 level.

Thanks for any input. I went to Orthopedic surgeon first and he gave me this and didn’t say much and referred me to a spine doctor. I am waiting to get an appointment.
