I had a MRI of cervical spine and all results were normal. Where as with my CT scan the results were as follows: No significant osseous abnormality is identified on CT. A subtle kyphosis centred at C3/4 disc space is noted. There is a subtle dehydration of the disc at this level. Disc space height however is reasonably well maintained. slight indentation onto the theca sac posteriorly on the C6/7 disc space. I am in chronic pain with multiple symptoms including tingling and pain down arm and hand. Please help.
