It means that your left brain is less developed than usual most probably the cause in your age is head trauma. Have you had one? To be sure of this "impression of diffuse cerebral atrophy" CT; the best is to perform an MRI exam of the brain. It is more sensible for this kind of deseases. As for the pain you have to consult a neurologist and to discuss with him causes and treatment of your illness.
