Subject: MRI report please help!

Hi,

I am hoping someone can help,

I have received my MRI results but i can not uderstand exactly what the report means for me, i will write what has been said if possible could someone please help me understand.

Spondylitic changesare noted C5/6 level with anterior osteophyteformation, There is straightening of the cervical lordis at this level, Most of the degenerative changes are in the anterior aspect and ther is only a mild diffuse broadbased posterior disc bulge at this level which is not causing impingementof the cervical spinal cord.There is no signal abnormality in the cord at this level

Ther is no compromise of the exiting or descending nerve roots at this level. There is no other significant neural compromise at any of the other imaged levels either. Normal marrow signal throughout!

In short does this mean i have some for of arthritis in my neck??

any help is very much appreciated.

Thank You

Carole

hi carole. my guess, remember it's a "guess" would be, it looks like everything is o.k. i've had a few scans done on my neck which came back not good, but that's a long story too. if you tell your doc's receptionist that you want to know the results in "english" i'm sure she'll get you in to see your doc real soon. good luck and we'll talk soon. dolly

Carole an Osteophyte is a bone ' spur ' . I have one on my left foot which impinges on my ankle so I can't walk properly. I can't help you with the other stuff but just thought I would let you know about this. Try Googling all the stuff in the report - might get some results there ?
