Hi Everyone
I am new so hope I am doing this right. Brief history I went off the road in 2009 and hit a tree head and then in 2011 came out of a store and tripped over a bike rack and fell face first banging my head off the sidewalk. I had a Cervical spine MRI in 2010 which determined herniated disk, degenerative disk disease and narrowing. I just got the results from an MRI I had done in December and it states: Findings: C5-C6 There is no central canal stenosis. Neural foraminal narrowing is severe on the right secondary to uncovertebral osteophyte formation. Summary: Severe neural foraminal narrowing at C5-C6 affecting C6 nerve root. I saw a neurosurgeon after my MRI in 2010 and he figured that things would correct itself and if not try traction and physio which I have done both. I don't see my Dr til February about MRI results wondering if I should have him send me back to Neurosurgeon to talk about possible surgery or other options now that things have worsened. I get pins and needless and numbness in lower right shoulder blade area when I cross my legs, extend forward, vaccuum, driving and a few other activities. I received whiplash when I fell which has probably made things worse. Looking for someone to help me understand the MRI and any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. |
