Hi doctor, Could you please explain to my my CT results in the plain English. CT revels large disc prolapse with ant. impingment. Degenerative osteophytes are noted from vertebral body margins from C4-C6. These are particulary more prominent at C5/6 level. Posterior osteophytes along with prominent prosterior disc bulge identifiedat C5/6 level, particularly more towards the left side compressing the anterior subarachnoid space and possible cord impngment. What kind of treatment I should do? Many thanks Stella
