Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My MRI shows reversal of cervical lordosis and bulging discs at C2-3, C4-5 has a protrusion with mild flattening of the ventral cord and stenosis, C5-6 has symmetrical bulging disc with a superimposed broad-based disc herniation eccentric to the right, prominent posterior osteophyte, and ligamentum flavum buckling resulting in mild to moderate spinal stenosis with mild flattening of the ventral cord. There is moderate bilateral neural foraminal stenosis secondary to disc osteophyte and uncovertebral joint arthropathy. How bad is this? I am having pretty severe symptoms.
You have spinal cord and nerve for compression. This requires decompression surgery by a Spine surgeon or you could suffer risk of weakness and paralysis later.
