Default C-Spine MRI results- please help :)

.I have had Right shoulder/arm pain with tingling, weakness, right hand swelling and the right hand goes "cold". I have constant pain anytime I move my right arm.

My MRI report states:

1. Small disk osteophytes complex with superimposed central protrusion of the disk with annular tear at C5-C6 produces mild central canal stenosis

2. Small disk osteophyte complex with superimposed right paracentral protrusion of the disk at C6-C7 produces a mild central canal stenosis

3. Mild right uncovertebral hypertrophy at C4-C5 produces mild narrowing of the right neural foramen.

Can someone explain if this relates at all to my arm/shoulder pain? .

Sounds like it might. I would go see a spine surgeon and not hang my hat on a radiologist summary of your MRI.

Certainly possible, but not definitive. Did they look at your shoulder at all or only your neck, because I've had similar (not identical) symptoms that have been linked to nerve impingement in my shoulder. Another possibility is thoracic outlet syndrome, for which there is also a forum here.
