Just got MRI report reading, Technique: Neutral/Sitting T1, Sagittal T2, Gradient Echo Axial.
Interpretation: There is a reversal of the cervical lordosis, with a focal kyphotic angulation at C5/6, where there is a large, extruded right paramedian disc herniation, causing right cord compression, and displacement of the cord posteriorly and toward the left. with resultant central stenosis. The disc herniation also has right-sided component, extending into the right anterior recess, and origin to the neural foramen. A radial annular tear is present.
Right paramedian disc herniation and radial annular tears are associated with C3/4 and C4/5,
impressing on the right cord at both levels.
C2/3 demonstrates central subligamentous disc herniation, which is slightly right paramedian,
impressing on the thecal sac.
At C6/7, there is a posterior disc bulge, that impresses on thecal sac.
There is diminished T1 and increased T2 signal intensity noted in the posterior paraspinal fascial
tissues,compatible with inflammatory noninfectious posterior fasciitis .
The cervical cord is otherwise unremarkable in signal and morphology. There is otherwise no evidence of syrinx or chiari malformation. No focal prevertebral or posterior paraspinal abnormal masses or altered signals are otherwise noted.
I have all the symptoms; constant burning pain between shoulder blades,pin needles in hands & feet, involuntary body jerks at night and creepy crawlers with lower back pain.
How serious is this MRI report?
