Default Cervical spine
I had been getting pains on my back neck and giddiness followed by reeling of head and nausea.An X-Ray of both oblique views of cervical spine was done and test report was that the posterior osteophytic impingement of the neural foramina is noted on either side at C5-C6 level. Can anyone tell me if it is serious and what is the treatment for this spinal disorder.

Hi--Having had neck surgery I will tell you x-rays are not good --you cant really see disc you need a MRI or Cat scan ---with insurance this usally first step xray but if i were u insist on MRI asap.

Default Hello madhuchanda
So sorry you are having cervical trouble. I can relate..... an xray isn't good enough for a full evaluation. You do need the MRI, and a good neurologist to evaluate you. This kind of pain is no fun. Be assertive and keep a pain journal for your appointment. Your PCP can give you an referral to a neurologist or neuro surgeon. Anytime there is nerve inpingement in the spinal canal, it is worth investigating. I hope you can find the help you need. ginnie
