What Do These MRI Results Of Neck Indicate?

The test results I have on my neck state. Left sided facet hypertrophy throughout the cervical spine. Mild broad based disk bulge at C-3-4, osteophyte formation with mild canal stenosis at C4-5 and C5-6. Small disc protrusion at c6-7 with mild stenosis, mild left foraminal narrowing, and posterior osteophye formation at c7-T1. I was wondering if these are all normal degenerative changes, or if they could be causing symptoms. I am 59 and female. Thank you

Hello,

These test results are likely degenerative, and can cause symptoms, particularly tingling, numbness and pins-and-needles sensations in your left arm.

All the best.
