Any Suggestion For Having Tiny Annular Tear In The Middle At C4-c5?
Just got my MRI report
Impression: Tiny annular tear in the middle at C4-C5. Canal is broadly patent.
Reason for MRI: The fifth and forth fingers on the left hand have been numb for over three months. When it's cold, the left palm and left arm are a little stiff.
What should I do next? Thanks for your answer.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
MRI findings cannot explain the reason for your symptoms.
Your symptoms are most likely due to ulnar nerve neuropathy. Nerve conduction studies would be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar
