I Had An MRI Done And Trying To Break It

I had an MRI done and trying to break it down in to plain English.

C4-C5, there is a small shallow right paracentral protrusion with accompanying osteophyte and adjacent uncovertebral spurring. Disc slightly impresses the ventral cord margin. There is moderate right foraminal stenois. There is narrowing of the anterior and posterior subarachnoid space secondary to mile central canal narrowing. This level appears stable.

I have a bunch of the same mentioned on other discs as well, but if I can understand this one, I should be able to make out what is being said about the others. I'm also confused on what 'level appears stable', could mean.
