So here are the results from my MRI. Reads as though there are a few things going on but nothing major, I guess. Sure doesn't feel that way sometimes though

My biggest question is, what is cord indentation? is there a dent in my spine? Google really didn't help much with that.

Any thoughts on below would be great. Thank you again!!!!


INDINGS:
Osseous Structures: There is normal cervical lordosis. No
vertebral body compression fracture or subluxation is seen. There
is no evidence of acute bone marrow edema. The facet joints are
normally aligned bilaterally.

Disc Spaces: There is no evidence of significant central
stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing at C2-3. At C3-4, there is
mild spondylosis and disc bulging resulting in mild cord
indentation and minimal left-sided neural foraminal narrowing. At
C4-5, there is mild spondylosis, disc bulging and uncovertebral
osteoarthritis resulting in mild cord indentation and no
significant central stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. At
C5-6, mild spondylosis and disc bulging is present resulting in
no central stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. The C6-7,
C7-T1 and T1-2 levels are unremarkable.

Ligaments: No abnormal signal or tears.

Spinal Canal: Visualized spinal cord is normal in caliber and
signal. No epidural fluid collections.

Craniocervical Junction: Within normal limits.

Prevertebral and Paraspinal Soft Tissues: Visualized portions
within normal limits.

IMPRESSION:
Mild degenerative disc disease resulting in mild cord indentation
at C3-4 and C4-5. Minimal left-sided neural foraminal narrowing
is present at C3-4.
