Should I Be Concerned?

[gizmosbear]

I was referred to see a Neurosurgeon and his office called today and told me without seeing me that I just need to lose weight and I will be fine. Below is the impression of the cervical MRI a few weeks ago, can someone here help me to know if I should be concerned here? Multilevel spondylosis most significant at C4-5 where there is moderate to severe
mass effect in the lateral recess regions as well as mild-to-moderate broad-based mass
effect upon the cord. Potential impingement upon both C6 nerve roots. More
questionable potential impingement upon the left C7 nerve root at C6-7 secondary to
asymmetric uncovertebral osteophyte. No other sites suspicious for neural impingement.
Small focal area of increased T2 signal within the left anterior aspect of the cord at
C5-6. This may represent a small area of encephalomalacia related to previous cord
impingement. ACDF C5-6 with no complicating features. See above for more detail.
