Need help with MRI findings.

[Cinderala70]

I am a Combat Veteran who served in the military for 15 years. I have injured my back to many times to count. The pain in my back is unbearable and I have been going through this pain for over 6 years now. The pain is like a T and over the last 2 weeks has radiated down my right arm, I also have been dropping things in both hand. The MRI shows.
C2/C3: Foramina are patent. There is no significant disc extrusion
C3/C4: Disc is normal. There is no protrusion. There are no masses or fractures here or anywhere, foramina are patent.
C4/C5: There is broad-based disc protrusion. There is lack of CSF space anteriorly, foramina are patent. There is minimal deformity of the spinal cord by protruding disc.
C5/C6: minimal deformity of the spinal cord. There is little CFS about the cord, there is broad-based disc protrusion,foramina are minimally narrowed on the left.
C6/C7: The left hand foremen is minimally narrowed, there is annular disc bulge and minimal CSF about the cord.

Hi and welcome to MedHelp.
Let me start by thanking you for your service to our Country, I appreciate all you've sacrificed to do so.

The minimal CSF issue is a red flag to me, a non medical professional....but with my personal experience with obstructed CSF flow due to other medical conditions I know how it can affect someone....CSF flow is vital.

Talk to your Dr about this and ask what can be done.

Good luck and do keep us posted.
