What Does This MRI Report Of Spine Indicate?
Due to a neck and shoulder pain I did an MRI. The result summary reads out as following
* Left posterio-lateral disc-osteophyte complex at c5-6 level is indenting the thecal sac, left exiting nerve root and mildly narrowing the left neural foramina
Just wanted to know if this would need a surgery or steroids/medicines/therapy can solve it. Thanks in advance for your response.age 29. height 172cms. weight 65. C4-5 indentation was also diagonised 5 years back and was treated with steroids and therapy.
