I need help translating my MRIs as well. I've had some minor back pain for a while but after being injured in an auto accident a month ago, it's been pretty rough. My thoracic is normal, but my cervical and lumbar finding are what I need someone to put into Layman's
terms for me PLEASE! Cervical conclusions: 1. C5-6 mild to moderate right foramen stenosis due to facet and unicinate hypertrophy. 2. C6-7 minor spondylotic disc displacement. Mild to moderate right foramen stenosis due to facet and unicinate hypertrophy. 3. C7-T1 mild right foramen stenosis due to facet and unicinate hypertrophy. LUMBAR: 1. Minor spondylosis. L3-4 mild diffuse spondylotic disc displacement and facet hypertrophy with nominal abutment of exiting right L3 nerve root. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TRANSLATE WHAT THIS MEANS?!?! |

Hi KimberlyFaith,
Welcome to NeuroTalk. Do you see your doctor soon? Your doctor will be able to explain when you see them. There are sites explaining terminolgy that you can check relating to MRI of the Spine. One example - What Do the Words on My MRI Mean? | AXIS Brain & Back Institute What do the words on my MRI mean. p.s. Just found the Sticky up at the top of the forum here. Medical Dictionary & MRI/CT Terminology Last edited by Lara; 12-22-2020 at 11:53 PM. Reason: fixed spelling username |

OP: When I see minor and mild that would make me happier than reading moderate to severe etc....and do try to get more answers from your doctor. I'm sure my long time back issues were minor and mild if I had MRI's yrs ago, but today with advancing age, it all advanced.... Work to keep in that mild/minor area and does your doctor recommend PT or chiro work ?
