Hi,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

I have gone through your query.

Based on the findings your wife is suffering from Cervical spodylosis.
You have not mentioned her age and her profession.

Cervical spondylosis is a common problem among women. Although seen in all the age groups it is usuallyseen in women above 35 years of age.

Your wife's condition is not serious as the MRI is showing early changes.

Osteophytes are excessiv bone groth secondary to stress or trauma to bones.

It is the pressure of osteophytes on the nerves that causes the symptoms.

As per the report they are not compressing neural structures so the problem is severe.

There are few precautions which needs to be taken apart from using medicines.
Try to avoid too much movement of neck. Do not use pillow while going to bed.

Coming to medications- Calcium supplements need to be taken. Along with them Anti inflammatory drugs must be used. Taking Preparations containing Vitamin B12 alone or in combination with Benfotiamine, thiamine and pyrridoxine would help. Few people require Vitamin B12 Injections.

If that does not give response you might have to use preparations containing gabapentin have to be used ( Not required for your wife as these are used in severe cases).

Get her Hemoglobin, Vitamin D3 and Calcium levels checked. Based on the values treatment can be initiated.
Please consult an orthpaedician or a neurosurgeon and take his advice.

If you can post the details of your wife's age , comorbid conditions ( Daibetes, Hypertension, thyroid problem or any gynaecological problems) and daily activities she does and profession, I can give you a better advice.

Hope you got the Answer you were looking for.

Wishing your wife a speedy recovery.

Take care
