Brief Answer:
Spondylottic changes of cervical spine.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
In view of MRI report, you have cervical nerve root compression at C3-C4 and C5-C6 levels.
Spinal cord extends from neck to lower back through spinal canal. Spinal canal is formed by vertebral body in-front and spinous process of vertebrae at the back. At each vertebral level nerves come out through neural foramen.
Between each vertebra there are intervertebral discs confined within margins of vertebrae. When these discs come out of these margins, it is termed as disc bulge or herniation.
Such herniated discs can compresses spinal nerves or spinal cord. Symptoms are experienced along the area of distribution/path of that particular nerve.
Treatment varies from conservative treatment, minimal invasive procedures to surgery.
I would suggest you to see a spine specialist who will take into account severity of your symptoms and MRI findings to guide about the treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
