Had fusion of c5-c6 in 1989 no residual or deficates since that time
woke up last week with pain over C7 with severe left scapula pain radiating to left tricept with paresthesias to index and middle finger left hand
MRI showed at C6-C7 there is a bulging disc. The neural foramina are narrowed bilaterally secondary to uncinate hypertrophy
Impression: Fused C5-C6 vertebral bodies. Small central disc protrusion at C4-C5. Narrowed neural foramina bilateral at C4-C5 and C6-C7
what does all this mean?
