Hmm, amazing that many of us have something going on at C4/5/6 or at one or more of those.
I think there are only a few that have no c spine issues.

I have mild osteophytes @ c 4/5/6, nothing like what your MRI shows. Drs opinion {& I agree} was that mine were not causing any sx at the time, and still not unless I look up for long periods of time.

I'll make a copy of your post and place it on our Spinal forum, they might have more detailed info to give you as far as terminology and such.

here's the link to your copied post on the Spinal forum -
