Can you help me understand an MRI reading which stated: Mild to moderate cervical spondlosis. There is mild acquired central spinal canal stenosis at C5-C6 secondary to mild retrolisthesis and a brroad-based disc osteophyte comples. To evidence of cervical cord compression Mild multilevel neural foraminal encroachment is noted. I didn t have any problems with my neck until I was under general anathesia about a week ago to have my gall bladder removed. The pain in my neck was excruciating--it felt like a herniated disc, which I have in my lower back. I think the tube placed down my throat caused this--what do you think?
