Numbness in the left arm, weakness

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

Three weeks ago my left arm went completely numb and I was having stabbing pains. I have also been having a lot of headaches. So they did a MRI of my brain and it came back with 6mm descending cerebellar tonsils, suggestive cerebellar tonsillar ectopia and a 15mm right maxillary sinus mucous retention cyst. What does all that mean?
