Newbie with a new injury from soccer...Results of an MRI are confusing and was wondering what insight I might be able to find in this forum...Thanks

** IMPRESSION **:
1. C5-C6 moderate central canal narrowing, moderate to severe left
and moderate right neural foraminal narrowing on the basis of
chronic uncovertebral hypertrophy and facet hypertrophy.
2. Otherwise multilevel mild to moderate degenerative changes of
the cervical spine.
3. No severe central canal or neural foraminal narrowing at any
level.



Specifically:

C3-C4: There is concentric uncovertebral hypertrophy eccentric to
the left which in conjunction with facet hypertrophy produces mild
to moderate left neural foraminal narrowing, no central canal
narrowing, and mild right neural foraminal narrowing.

C4-C5: There is concentric uncovertebral hypertrophy eccentric to
the left which in conjunction with facet hypertrophy produces no
central canal narrowing and mild to moderate bilateral neural
foraminal narrowing.

C5-C6: There is concentric uncovertebral hypertrophy which
effaces the ventral subarachnoid space, contacting the cord,
flattening the ventral aspect of the cord, producing moderate
central canal narrowing, moderate to severe left and moderate
right neural foraminal narrowing.

C6-C7: There is concentric uncovertebral hypertrophy eccentric to
the right which in conjunction with facet hypertrophy produces
moderate right neural foraminal narrowing, mild to moderate
central canal narrowing, and mild to moderate left neural
foraminal narrowing.
