What this refers to is a degenerative disk problem at the middle cervical region of your spine.
The cervical spine is your neck, from the skull to the base of the neck. The mid-region disks are typically the C5,6 & 7 disks/vertebrae, and they're also the ones most commonly affected by disease.
"Discovertebral Complex" is just a fancy term for saying you've got degeneration in that area. What it's being caused by can be any number of things - hereditary disease, Arthritis, stenosis, facet problems, etc.

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves fibers that connects the arm to the spinal cord. Injury of it could cause the arm to be paralyzed, a lack of muscle control, and/or a lack of sensation.

They are called vertebrae. Specifically in the neck they are called cervical vertebrae, the lower back are called lumbar vertebrae and the mid back around the ribcage are called thoracic vertebrae.

"C-Spine shows degenerative changes in upper mid area C2-C3"
Scoliosis can be located in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar area of the spine Cervical = neck Thoracic = mid spine Lumbar = lower spine

CIN II means cervical intraepithelial neoplasia mid-grade. It's a pre-cancerous lesion of the uterine cervix.

The arrangement of the bones in the vertebral column start with the cervical spine. The cervical spine controls the head and neck. The next section of the vertebral column is the thoracic spine which controls the truck and mid back. The last vertebral column is the lumbar spine which is responsible for the legs.
There are several miscellaneous causes of upper extremity pain related to conditions of the cervical spine. PLease read more about this here... http://onewaychiropractic.com.au/archives/1754
