Default Received MRI and here are the findings.. What to Do??

I have been having pain in my left arm and hand. Got an MRI and here are the findings:

CERVICAL DISK LEVELS:
C2-C3: No significant bulges or protrusions. Mild bilateral facet osteoarthritis.
C3-C4: Symmetric disc bulge is present. Bilateral uncovertebral osteophytes. Mild bilateral facet osteoarthritis.
The foramina are moderately (between 1/3 and 2/3) stenotic. The central canal is mildly (<1/3) stenotic.
C4-C5: Minimal diffuse bulge. Bilateral uncovertebral osteophytes. Mild bilateral facet osteoarthritis. The left
neural foramen is severely (>2/3) stenotic. The right neural foramen is moderately (between 1/3 and
2/3) stenotic.
C5-C6: Bilateral uncovertebral osteophytes. Mild bilateral facet osteoarthritis. Severe left and moderate to
severe right foraminal narrowing.
C6-C7: Bulging of the disc margin with an associated osteophyte is present central canal zone. Bilateral
uncovertebral osteophytes. A focal protrusion is present in the left foramen. The left neural foramen is
severely (>2/3) stenotic. The central canal and right foramen are mildly (<1/3) stenotic.
C7-T1: No significant disk disease, facet osteoarthritis or stenosis.
CONCLUSION:
1. C6-7 bulge osteophyte complex with uncovertebral osteophyte. A more focal protrusion is
present in the left foramen resulting in severe foraminal stenosis.
2. Left greater than right foraminal stenosis is also present at C4-5 and C5-6 mostly due to uncovertebral osteophyte.

Does anyone know what this really means?
