Question: My chiropractor and a radiologist recommended I get an MRI. They see "apparent erosion on the left c6c7 articulate pillar." I'm wondering what that means, what the cause could be, etc. MRI included herein.

If you have more saggital and transverse section then you can attach them.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case and your MRI images.
For detail study more images will help. If you have more saggital and transverse section images then you can attach them.
Erosion at c 6 -7 may lead to cervical nerve compression leading to elbow pain.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started consulting your doctor.

Physiotherapy will help you like ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy.
