Hi ~ I'll do the best I can. You have foramenal narrowing at C4-5 and C5-6 and .C6-7. The foramen is an opening that gives passage to spinal nerves from the vertebral canal. You have some narrowing partially due to bone spurs. Then the herniation at C3-4 is poking out more and denting the thecal sac and the spinal cord.

I hope this helps some. It sounds like you must still be hurting!!!!

I hope you get some relief soon. God bless. Peace, Lee
