Detailed Answer:
Hello
Findings suggests degenerative changes in cervical spine.
Degenerative changes are generally age related findings.It is due to chronic stress on annulus fibrosis.
From C3-4 to C6-7 level,there is mild disc bulge (posteriorly) which is touching
the thecal sac.
It is good that there is no definitive nerve root compression.
Majority of degenerative disc disease patients are benefited by conservative treatment in the form of physiotherapy,analgesics and muscle relaxants.
Surgery should be the last option.
As you have mild findings,you may only need conservative treatment only.
Physiotherapy helps in strengthening of muscles and it prevents further changes.
Ankle MRI is almost normal.Tiny erosion can be ignored.
Get well soon.
