osteophyte
 

Hi friends am new here I am 29years, hope someone can help me
I have neck back pain everyd due to osteophyte.
MRI report : osteophyte formation at R. C5C6 with encroachment on the epidural space only.

X RAY report :
1-Mild scoliosis with convexity.
2-Height loss C4 C5 (mostly) & c6 vertebral bodies.
3-Narrowing of C4/5 & C5/6 disc spaces.
4-Uncodiscarthrosis from C3 to C6.
5-Right C5/6 exit foramen narrowing.
6-Degenerative changes at C6/7 apophyseal joints.

Anyone know what treatment can be do?
Thx

I moved your post here to our Spinal forum, it seemed a better fit for your issues.

Have you talked with a surgeon yet to see if any minor /day surgery could fix some of the encroachment issues?

My dad had some bone spurs/calcium deposits causing problems that his surgeon was able to do a day surgery and grind away the worst of it. Just 3 small incisions/holes for the tools to do it.
I'm sure it depends on the exact location where the problem is for each person.

Chiropractor- I make some visite with an french chiropractor who is in my country his treatments was he crack me and do Dry needling ( put needle in my muscle & put an electric pen on the needle) i got relieve only for some days.

Physiotherapist- i went to see an physiotherapist he told me to go to the seaside ofen n stand in water for an hour till my neck n put ice everyd.

Don't what treatmentwill really work for long?
I see a surgeon who told me to come in his clinic KKT orthopedic spine center he is the director there but other orthopedic told me that this will don't really treat me.

I don't knw if in Europe , America or India if they can treat this with surgery and what will be the cost?

Here complete MRI report

MRI CERVICAL SPINE :
Sequences performed:
Sagittal T1 & T2 FSE; Axial T1 & T2 FSE without contrast.
Axial & sagittal T1 post constrast.
FINDINGS:
-The cranio-cervical junction looks normal.
-Normal alignment of the vertebral bodies.
-There is no significant marrow replacement.
-The cord exhibits normal size & signal intensity.
-The discs retain height & signal intensity without any evidence of significant disc protrusion.
-At C5C6 levels a R. sided osteophyte formation is seen from the lower & posterior margin of C5. It encroaches on the epidural space only without any encroachment on the exiting nerve root.
-The spinal canal is patent.
-No encroachment on the intervertebral foramina is seen.
