X-ray showed no evidence of spondylosis, loss of normal cervical lordosis, MRI showed disc hernias. What could be the cause?
I had an xray that resulted in Vertebral bodies and intervertebral spaces appear normal. There is loss of normal cervical lordosis . Posterior spinal column and spinal canal appear normal. No evidence of spondylolysis or listhesis. Prevertebral soft tissues are within normal limits . A month later I had an MRI taken showing disc hernias in C6 - C8. Is it that I did something in between or was it missed by the Xray?

Hello
Nothing has been missed by the x-ray as disc hernias can be seen only in MRI and not in x-rays which doesn't show a soft tissue like intervertebral discs.
Thanks
