Hi everyone. Been in chronic pain for a couple of years. I was diagnosed with post herpetic neuralgia. Developed numb fingers and other problems.Doctor ordered mri of cervical spine. Would like some help interpertating the results.Marrow normal no fractions. c2-c3 discs appear normal. Uncovertebral spurring at C4-C5 causes moderate narrowing of the right neural foramen. The dominant abnormality is a very large and broad right posterior lateral disc extrusion at c5-c6 causing central canal stenosis with marked compression of the ventrolateral aspect of the cord. There is spurring and or disc material causing addittional narrowing of the right c5 c6 neural foramen. The csf is completely effaced ventrally and posterior to the cord, no edema is evident. neurosurgical consult is recommended. Thanks anybody
