Hello
Report suggests degenerative disc disease of cervical spine.
Degenerative changes occurs in spine due to aging and development of weakness in annulus fibrosis.
1.There are small osteophytes in C4-6 vertebra.Osteophytes are small bony protrusions and it is formed due to chronic stress on annulus fibrosis.
2. At C4-5 level,there is diffuse annular bulge with mild protrusion of disc in posterior direction which is causing minimal indentation over thecal sac.
3.There is block vertebra formed due to fusion of C5 and C6 vertebra.This is a normal variation and it is not a matter of concern.
Majority of the cases of degenerative spine disease are benefited by physiotherapy,so physiotherapy should be tried first.
Surgery should be the last option.
Pregabalin capsule can be prescribed after evaluation.
Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurologist.
Get well soon.
Take Care
