What Does this MRI Scan Result Mean?
My 61 yr old wife has mild anterior listhesis C3 on C4 and C4 on C5 bi 1mm in both and retrolisthesis C5 on C6 by 0.5mm. There is C5/6 moderate to severe and C6/7 mild disc space narrowing. Oblique films show narrowing to the bilateral C6 bilateral C7 foramina secondary to unconvertebral joint hypertrophy. She is in moderate to severe pain what should she do. Heat packs and endone used to help but do little now. Could u advise please?

Hello
Findings may indicate degenerative spine disease.
These are generally age related changes.
Patient may need physiotherapy and medicines.
Take Care
