What Do These MRI Test Results Of The Spine Indicate?

c5-c6- left central and foraminal broad-based protrusion with endplate marginal osteophyte formation results in flattening of the left ventral cord. End plate marginal osteophyte abuts the exiting left c6 ventral nerve root. Left greater than right uncovertebral hypertrophy and facet arthrosis contribute to moderate left foraminal narrowing.What???

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

From your given report i think you have cervical radiating pain due to nerve compression . such nerve compression may show neuropathic pain towards your right shoulder and even may reach your hands and fingers .
In mild cases such pain may subside simultaneously with relaxation and even without medication . you may avoid heavy lifting , over weighing , vigorous movements , bad sleeping or sitting postures .
Physiotherapy sessions with a good chiropractor , hot massages , yoga and spinal straightening exercises are of good value in all cases .
For my patients i may suggest painkillers like advil tab when needed , hot gentle massaging with topical gels of anti-inflammatory , B12 vitamin supplement , muscle relaxants will be effective for most of cases . steroid tabs or injections may be prescribed if needed in more sever cases .
If pain persists i recommend you follow your MRI results with your neurologist for proper evaluation and management .

Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
