Hello
Thanks for writing to us
According to report,you are suffering from degenerative disc disease of cervical spine.
Degenerative changes occurs in spine due to aging and development of weakness in annulus fibrosis.
1.At C3-4 level,there is left side disc bulge and it is compressing left nerve root and spinal cord.
2.At C6-C7 level,there is also right sided disc bulge and it is compressing the spinal cord and right nerve root.
3.At C4-C5 level, there is left intervertebral foramen narrowing with osteodegenerative changes..
Majority of the cases of degenerative spine disease are benefited by physiotherapy,so physiotherapy should be tried first.
Surgery should be the last option.
There are also medicines like capsule pregabalin available for pain relief.
Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurosurgeon.
Get well soon.
