Cervical Spine MRI help
I was rear ended in July 2012 and have had a list of issues (vision, vestibular, tingling arms/legs, radiculopathy, and now am dropping coffee cups).
I received the following MRI results:
There is reversal of the normal cervical lordosis with a kyphotic apex at c5-6.
A small round T1 hyperintensity in the C7 vetebral body displays signal loss on T2 fat sat and likely represents a hemangioma or focal fatty infiltration
C5-6/c6-7 broad-based posterior disc osteophyte complex and right uncovertebral hypertrophyt results in moderate right neuroforaminal narowing and mild spinal canal stenosis
Impression: Predominantly discogenic degeneratie changes at C5-6/6-7 where broad based posterior disc osteophyte complexes and right uncoverterbral hypertrophy result in mild to moderate right neural foraminal narowing and mild spinal canal stenosis.
is this just normal whiplash or with neurological symptoms more?
I don't have dr appointment until Dec 2 so I'm a bit worried....
Thanks!
