Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your father's MRI report is suggestive of severe cervical spondylosis with compression of spinal cord and nerves in the neck. His weakness and numbness can be explained by his MRI findings.
Surgery is routinely done to treat this disease. The surgery is safe and effective in more than 95% of cases. So, there is no need to worry.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
