Hello, I'm new here and wondered if you can help me with my MRI report. I'm 49yrs old.

MRI Spine Cervical:

There are multilevel degenerative changes with disc space reduction & osteophyte formation predominantly involving the mid & lower cervical spine.
Normal spinal cord parenchymal signal. There is a constitutionally narrow vertebral canal.

At C4/5 there is a neural foramina narrowing.
At C5/6 there is a broad based disc-osteophyte bar which narrows the vertebral canal and causes borderline spinal cord compression, in conjunction with posterior ligamentous thickening. There is also severe foramina narrowing.
At C6/7, there is a broad based disc-osteophyte bar and posterior ligamentous thickening causing spinal cord compression, but without spinal cord signal abnormality. There is also severe bilateral neural foramina narrowing.

I'm currently awaiting surgery which depending on what is found when they open me up, may or may not involve fusion.

Meantime, what physical activities, if any, should I NOT be doing?

I grow my own fruit & veg with help from my spouse. I'm limited to what housework I can do - vaccuuming, mopping etc. I care for my Dad who has AD & lives with my Mum who is severely arthritic. They both have carer's going in to help them. I also have a chronic cough for over 9yrs which is being treated with MST 10mgs bd.

Thanks for any response,
Tenderfoot
