Osteophytic changes are noted in the cervical vertebrae . Annular posterior bulge is noted at C5-C6 intervertebral disc , causing significant indentation of the subarchnoid space. Disc desiccations due to degenerative disc disease, are noted in all intervertebral discs. I am having intermittent numbness in only right arms/shoulder and in thumb. Please advise me is it very serious and what should I do ? Physiotherapy,medicine or else. Thanking you Mukund Newaskar India

Dear the symptoms you are experiencing are all related to discopathia from cervikal spine.My advice is to treat it conservatory.First of all you should put an cervical collar, soft one for two weeks.No physiotherapy is recommended for cervical discopathi.For pain management you can use ibuprofen 400mg twice daily.Wish you all the best
