MRI Scan Shows A Diffuse Disc Bulge Present, Mild Narrowing Of The Ventral CSF Space. What Does This Mean?
Hello, I have an MRI which indicates significant right C5-6 and bilateral C6-7 Neural Foraminal Narrowing due to Uncovertebral joint Hyperthrophy. A diffuse disc bulge is present but only mild narrowing of the ventral CSF space. This was all cause by a sking accident 2o yrs ago. Can you help me understand what all of this means. Thanks, Lisa

This means that there is nerve compression at neck. it is caused by narrowing of canal. I want to know what symptoms you are having as if there is only pain or weaekness also. your treatment will depend on that. i would suggest you to avoid using pillow, wear soft cervical collar, take Pregabalin M tablet and consider surgery if pain is not controllable or increasing .
