I have an appt with my spine Dr next week to discuss my MRI, but I am curious, because my W.Comp QME mentioned this MRI finding: It states there is signal inthe cord at C5" - She said "if that is a true finding, then that may require urgent surgery" - WHAT???? What does signal in the cord at C5 mean? Why did no one else notice this - am I in danger? Or am I freaking out for nothing? Can someone please help? Thanks!!

"Diminished signal at C5" could indicate that the disk is dry and may indicate disk degeneration. Increased signal intensity in the cord could indicate cervical compressed myelopathy or a spinal cord lesion. But, again, no one can really give you an answer without knowing exactly what the entire report says. |

Or maybe it was supposed to say "loss of signal"?
Get a copy of the written MRI report and share it along your symptoms also, it will make for best replies. We have a WC forum also for tips and help there.
