Hello
Thanks for writing to us
According to MRI report you have degenerative
disc disease of
cervical spine.
Degenerative changes occurs in spine due to aging and development of weakness in annulus fibrosis which allows herniation of disc.
1.At C6-7 level there is broad based right paracentral disc herniation that is indenting thecal sac and exerting mass effect on the right anterior cervical cord without significant central canal narrowing.
Treatment for degenerative
lumbar disease includes
physiotherapy or surgery.
Effectiveness of both modalities are same.So,physiotherpay should be tried first. It causes strengthening of Para spinal muscles and it prevents further changes.
Surgery should be the last option.
There are also medicines like capsule pregabalin available for pain relief.
Other pain relieving modalities are Ozone ablation,
Radiofrequency ablation,percutaneous disectomy etc.
Steroids are also used for foramen block,but it is not the definite treatment.
Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurosurgeon.
Get well soon.
Take Care
