What Is The Result Of My MRI Report Suggestive Of?
I had a fall down stairs in work and since the fall I have suffered from a stiff sore neck, which is made worse by household chores. My MRI says dehydrated/desiccated discs at almost all cervical levels with moderate C4 -5 disc space narrowing, minimal degenerative anterior listhesis of C5 with respect to C4. Minimal disc bulges present t c4/5 and c6/7. Can any of this be as a result of my fall as my neck was never sore before I fell and they fall happened almost six months ago.

HI
The disc bulging could have been from your fall, but the other things seen in the scan are basically spinal arthritis and that takes months to years to develop
