What are your sx (symptoms)? If you tell us exactly where you have any pain, numbness & tingling, heaviness, weakness and/or referred sx, etc. (the base of the neck, back of the arm, hand[s]/finger[s], top of head, scapular muscles, etc.), we would be better equipped to help interpret the written report with you.

Obviously, you can look up any vocab you may need to in the dictionary, so the terms and context can be understood. Also if you could add back any specific measurements (like the exact size and placement of the bone spur @/just above c-4 / c-5, for example), as well as any descriptive terms concerning the findings (words like "subtle,"mild," "moderate" etc.) contained in the written report.

Depending on where your sx are located (keep in mind that you may be experiencing some so-called "referred" sx), Tim, the docs will hopefully be able to come up with an accurate diagnosis (dx) for you, based on the film and the written report.

Once you have the dx, you and your docs can come up with the best treatment plan so you can start to recover.

As far as interpreting results, of course we will try to solve the puzzle as well, but understand that we are not radiographers or physicians or anything like that! We can only offer years of "internal" experience!

What kind of doctor ordered the scan?

Oh, and last but not least, Tim - welcome to Neurotalk! Hope you feel better soon.
