Nerve conduction test says Minimal right C5 paraspinal irritation. Clinical correlation is advised.
*this means compared to your symptoms & pain location , pain levels etc.. description of pain and where etc..*
If you can describe those it might help us give better replies.
Is pain & symptoms in arms ,legs etc?
I'm assuming arms/hands/neck ? since cervical spine was imaged.
You had a fusion previously, how long ago?
MRI report says
Cervical alignment is appropriate. Cervical fusion is noted at C5-C6 and C7. Vertebral height is maintained. Craniocervical junction appears normal. Prevertebral soft tissues show no abnormality. Marrow and cord signal are within normal limits. Cervical degenerative change is as follows:
C2-C3: No significant abnormality.
C3-C4: Mild disc osteophytic bulge is present. No impingement.
C4-C5: Central disc osteophytic protrusion is present. This effaces the anterior thecal sac but does not clearly impinge upon the exiting nerve roots or cord.
C5-C6: Osteophytic ridging is present without convincing evidence of impingement.
C6-C7: Central osteophytic spurring is present. There is no impingement.
C7-T1: No significant abnormality.
