MRI translation

Can you please translate my MRI report
Finding:
There is mild curvature of the cervical spine convex to the right at the level of C7.there is straightening of the mild cervical spine.

At C3/4 there is a small broad based disc buldge wich does not cause foraminal stenosis. there is a mild canal stenosis withouth cord compression.

At C4/5 there is a central and left paracentral disc protrusion with contact of the spinal corld and mild canal stenosis. There is mild left foraminal stenosis.

At C5/6 there is a large broad based disc osetophyte complex worst in the left paracentral region. the disc compression of the left side of the spinal cord. there is no significant foraminal stenosis. the vettebral bodies maintain normal height and marrow signal there is no cord signal change demonstrated
Conclusion
There is multilevel degenerative disc disease most severe at C5/6 where there is compression of the left side of the spinal cord.

Can someone explain to me the findings of this MRI, the doctor is speaking in a foreign language?
Intervertebral discs: Multilevel desiccation. Mild height loss at C4-5 and C5-6.
Vetebral alignment: No significant subluxation. Reversal of lordosis.
C3-4: No disc osteophyte. Mild neural foraminal stenosis. No significant spinal canal stenosis. No spinal cord compression.
C4-5: No disc osteophyte. Moderate bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. Mild spinal canal stenosis. No spinal cord compression.
C5-6: Small disc osteophyte complex. Moderate bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. Mild spinal canal stenosis. No spinal cord compression.
C6-7: Right paracentral predominant disc ostephyte complex. Mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. Mild spinal canal stenosis. No spinal cord compression.
Mulilevel degenerative spondylosis.

The MRI report indicates degenerative disc changes at multiple levels but the area of concern is the C5-C6 level where the osteophyte complex (bone spurs) have caused compression of the spinal cord.  This is probably the primary cause of any significant neck, shoulder and arm pain you may be experiencing.
Cord compression is considered an indication for surgical intervention as if further compression occurs over time, you are at risk for additional damage which could result in permanent neurological changes.  
At present there is no spinal cord signal change indicating that the nerve tissue complex of the spinal cord is functioning normally.  Additional compression or narrowing of the spinal canal could alter this and increases your risk.
The degenerative changes at C3-C4 and C4-C5 are not as severe, but are causing some nerve involvement as well with stenosis of the spinal canal (narrowing of the channel through which the spinal cord travels) and stenosis of the neural foramen (through which the spinal nerve roots travel).
Treatment options should be reviewed in greater detail with your orthopedist or spine specialist.
Post with an update and any additional questions/concerns you may have.
