Please help me understand what these MRI conclusions mean in layman’s terms and any advice or opinions would be appreciated?

My MRI has 3 conclusion points.

1. Large left paramedian disc herniation C6-7 amputating the left axillary pouch and likely affecting the left c7 nerve root.

2. Moderate right neural foraminal osteophyte disc complex T1-2 which may affect the exiting T1 nerve root.

3. On the edge of the study, there appears to be a large right T2-3 osteophyte disc complex. Formal evaluation may be warranted depending on the patient's clinical exam and symptom complex.


A huge truck hit my small car from behind and has caused awful pain problems for me.

My symptoms are PAIN especially in the neck. I can't turn my head to the right or tilt my head forward or backward without even more pain. I have to wear a neck brace or the pain is just too awful. I feel weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath and I seem to cry all the time the pain is so bad. My first three fingers ache especially my thumbs and numbness travels down my left arm. My hands tremble and I can only stand for short periods of time.

I have tried to go back to work twice and have only made my condition worse.

Heat, ice and massage are my pt treatments.

If surgery will make this pain go away, I will gladly have it.

Please help me with advice and please tell me what my MRI says? I am usually such a strong person and this pain and not being able to do anything is frustrating. Thank you for any help or opinions you can help me with. CJ
