Hello,
The MRI of the neck showed that you have a left sided slipped disc in the middle of the neck (c4/c5) but is not causing any harm. You also have osteoarthritis in the lower part of the neck (c6/7) which is narrowing the area where the nerve comes out from the neck causing symptoms like pain and/or muscle weakness in your left arm.
Kind regards
