What Does The MRI Scan Mean?

What does this MRI mean? Cervical, vertebral body height, aliment, and marrow signals are within normal limits. There is mild multilevel disc desiccation. The craniovertebal junction appears normal. At C3-C4, there is again a small left paracentral and left neural foraminal disc osteophyte complex. Uncovertebral/facet disease contributes to mild left neural foraminal encroachment.

Well these degenerative changes of the spine, changes which are to be expected with the passing of the years, unless you are a young individual nothing alarming. I don't know your clinical history so I can't say much more, nothing to warrant surgery for now though, most probably will need analgesics, rest, physiotherapy.
