MRI results explanation
 

I recently had a cervical MRI due to increased pain and numbness in my left arm. I would like an explanation in layman's terms.

1. C3-4:broad 4mm osteophyte disc protrusion complex with mild central canal stenosis, mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing and a 2mm retrolisthesis.
2. C4-5: broad 3mm osteophyte disc protrusion complex with mild central canal stenosis, mild right neural foraminal narrowing and moderate left neural foraminal narrowing.
3. C5-6 broad 4 mm osteophyte disc protrusion complex with mild central canal stenosis, moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing and a 2mm retrolisthesis.
4. C6-7: broad 3mm disc protrusion with borderline canal stenosis and mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.

Thank you for your time
