Hello,
The MRI report suggests that there is constriction or stenosis at the level of cervical vertebrae C4, C5 and C6.
There is prolapsed disc at the level of T8 to T9 and at L4, L5 and S1.
All the symptoms are due to pathologies at different spinal levels.
I suggest you consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
