Brief Answer:
Your MRI is nearly normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic for posting your query.
I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar.
I have gone through your question in detail and understand your concern.Your MRI is normal except there is small protrusion (bulge without damage to its covering) of disc between C2-C3, C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels with just indenting ( slight pressure on sheath of spinal cord) anteriorly. Treatment depends upon symptoms. If there is pain then its treatment is rest to neck (cervical collar may be used), and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Mecobalamine may be of use if there is radiculopathy ( radiating pain to arm and hand). You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
Wishing you a good health
Take care.
