What Does "Cervical Fusion Spanning C5-C7, C4-5 Disc Osteophyte" Mean?

I have surgery in 2004 with disc bulging in neck C5-6 and C6-7 being replaced and have a plate. Now have pain in right arm, MRI reads as follows: Cervical fusion spanning C5-C7, C4-5 disc osteophyte complex and degenerative changes result in abutment of the ventral cord and foraminal. Will this mean another surgery?
