Neck MRI...should I go see an Ortho pod?

Neck MRI...should I go see an Ortho pod?

What does the following mean in relation to symptoms of clumsiness of both gait and hands (dropping things for no reason)? I find that the symptoms are more apparent in hot versus cold weather. The nurse told me that the following wouldn't cause my symptoms. "Findings showed 8x5 mm nonenhancing round fluid filled structure anterior and left of midline of the epiglottis, likely a small vallecular cyst. Also found straightening of the cervical spine. C4-C5 level has mild right sided uncovertebral hypertrophy. C5-C6 demonstrates minimal central disc bulge and hypertrophicc change with mild thecal sac compression. There is mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. " Should I see an Ortho Pod?

Hi,
Your report suggests that you are having gait disturbances and clumsiness of hands is indeed due to spinal disc pathology.
I think you need to see an orthopaedician and a neurosurgeon at earliest.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.
