Can someone please help me translate my MRI Results to layman's terms?
You MRI of the cervical spine shows evidence of a cervical spondylosis greatest at C4-5 and C5-6. There was a left central disk protrusion at C4-5 causing a mild deformity of the left ventral spinal cord. Osteophytes in the C5-C6 causing moderate spinal canal stenosis and mild deformity of the ventral spinal cord. Unconvertable foraminal narrowing with spurring was seen at C5-6 causing bilateral foraminal stenosis, more on the left than the right. |

Actually, only slight pain between the shoulder blades. The MRI was done for a neurological issue. Still not sure if it related or not.

--problems in the cervical spine can cause pain between the shoulder blades, often along the scapular ridges, as well as in the neck and down the arms into the hands.
The pain can be "regular" nociceptive pain, of more neurologic in character, meaning burning, tingling, shocking, lancingm shooting . . .depending on the extent of nerve compression, numbness may be involved too, and even motor symptoms. You do have MRI evidence of not only some spinal cord compression, but of nerve root compression in the foramen, which are the spaces through which nerve roots pass on their way from the spinal cord to other areas of the body. What type of neurological issue are you referring to? I ask as spine problems are ultimately neurologic issues--the biomechanical issues put pressure on nerves. |

Inability to empty my bladder on my own as well as some numbness and pain in my feet. I started to take over the counter B12 liquid and have seen a noticeable decrease in the pain in my feet and the numbness is going in and out too. My vitamin B12 level was 223. I asked the doctor for the shots but he doesn't want to give me the shots until he figures out exactly what is causing the issue.
