Hello
Thanks for writing to us
According to report,you are suffering from degenerative disc disease of cervical spine.
Degenerative changes occurs in spine due to aging and development of weakness in annulus fibrosis.
1.At C5-6 level,there is posterocentral and left paracentral herniation of intervertebral disc which is compressing the thecal sac and left nerve roots.
2.There is posterior bulging of inter vertebral discs at C3-4 and C4-5 level.
3.There is loss of normal cervical lordosis and spondylotic changes noted at C4,C5 and C6 level.
Majority of the cases of degenerative spine disease are benefited by physiotherapy,so physiotherapy should be tried first.
Surgery should be the last option.
There are also medicines like capsule pregabalin available for pain relief.
Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurosurgeon.
Get well soon.
