What Does The MRI Mean?
I was rear ended as I sat in my car at a complete stop and my MRI showed the following summary, what does it all mean? Cervical spine: Central posterior protruded disc herniation at the C4-C5 level. Anterior and posterior protruded disc herniation with adjacent spondylytic change at the C5-C6 and C6-C7. Reversal of normal cervical curve, which may be due to muscular spasm and/or soft tissue injury. Clinical correlation is suggested in this regard.Lumbar Spine: Diffuse bulging at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 discs. Transitional vertebra with lumbarization at the first sacral segment. Study limited due to patient s habitus.

Hello i have gone through your question and understand your concern.
The radiologic features need a neurologic exam to see if there is anything to worry about. About the reverse lordosis I recommend using a soft collar for a couple of weeks , even in bed. I noticed there is no myelopathy reported which is very good.
The lumbar spine is normal.
Wishing you good health, please feel free for further questions
