Let me see if I can help now:

At C2-3 you have bone spurs that result in neural foramen encroachment. That means that the neural foramen is being touched.

C3-4 The same here.

C4-5 Slight disc narrowing here with a right paracentral disc protrusion abutting the right ventral aspect of the cord. You have a disc herniation that is touching the front of the spinal cord.

C5-6 A right paracentral disc protrusion results in mild flattening of the right ventral aspect of the cord, bone spurs result in minimal foramen encroachment.

C6-7 You have a disc bulge.

C7-11 Normal

I would say that the herniations that are touching/abutting the spinal cord about bound to cause some pain. Also the bone spurs that are touchiing the spinal cord aren't going to feel very good either! But I'M NO DOCTOR, so you'd need to talk these over with your own doctor or NEUROSURGEON.

Do you have another appointment with your doctor? So they think that you don't have much pain with this? It figures. WE NEVER get validation. I'd sure like THEM to talk a day in our shoes, wouldn't you?

Let me know how you're doing, ok? Why not post it in the Spiinal Disorders Forum, so I'll know where to look for it. Thanks hon, Talk later. Hugs, Lee
