Can you still be pregnant and get a short period like 3 days nd have really bad cramps and back pain?

Yes!! I had a period that was about three days long with my first pregnancy--cramping the whole works. I figured it was a regular period and went on with my life. I did have a few pregnancy symptoms, but blew them off because I thought I had a normal period. A month later when my period did not come, I did a HPT and got a BFP. Ultrasound revealed that I was 4 weeks further along then what we thought, so I really was pregnant when I got that short period.

What does degenerative facet changes on the left C3-4 mean?

What this means (likely from a Radiology report) is that the Cervical facet (the "tabs" of the vertebrae) at the C3/4 vertebrae/disk is degenerating, and at some point could cause a disk problem down the road. If you're not having any disk problems now, or pain in your left shoulder, arm or hand, then you're probably okay. It only really becomes a problem when it degenerates to the point where it can lead to herniation or other problems causing inflammation and pain. You'll know if it happens - the pain in your arm and shoulder will be unmistakable.
