MRI RESULTS

[Donna969]

I just got another MRI and I was wondering if you can explain it to me ?
      1. Postoperative changes from anterior discectomy and fusion from c3through c7
      2.Degenerative changes with osteophytes do encrouch on the central canal and neural foramina
       this appears similar to the previous studies though assessment of the most recent mri is considerably
      limited secondary to considerable motion artifact on that prior exam.

Hi!   I went to the doctor today so we could talk about the results from the MRI and he said theres nothing wrong. I don;t understand I'm having numbness and tingling down my arms and legs and even my face tingles. I feel so weak I asked him to send me for a mylogram and he told no I should go get a second oppion.also he said I should get the whole back of my neck fused and that should take some of the pain away.Please help me because I don't know what to do. THANK YOU!

Hi, MRI is showing up degenerative changes in vertebrae leading to bony spur formation which is pinching nerves and spinal cord. This can lead to tingling sensations in upper limbs and weakness in legs.

These changes are similar to earlier reported changes and hence have not deteriorated much..
