There is some right posterior spurring at c4-5 and c5-6 levels causing some encrouchment on the the cal sac but no gross canal stenosis is seen.

Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine level.

For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies after consultation.

Till then you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.

You may require tablet Pregabalin after consultation. Continue physical therapy and avoid strenuous activity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
