does this mean surgery or just shots?
- AT C2-3 , there is no evidence of disc herniation or significant
disc bulge. No spinal canal narrowing or neural foraminal narrowing
is seen.
- AT C3-4 , there is no evidence of disc herniation or significant
disc bulge. No spinal canal narrowing or neural foraminal narrowing
is seen.
- AT C4-5 , there is mild generalized disc bulge and posterior
vertebral body osteophytes with mild spinal canal narrowing and mild
right neural foraminal narrowing.
- AT C5-6 , there is generalized disc bulge and posterior vertebral
body osteophytes and mild posterior subluxation. There is moderate to
severe spinal canal narrowing and severe bilateral neural foraminal
narrowing.
- AT C6-7, there is mild generalized disc bulge and small posterior
vertebral body osteophytes with mild spinal canal narrowing and
moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
- AT C7-T1, there is no evidence of disc herniation or significant
disc bulge. No spinal canal narrowing or neural foraminal narrowing
is seen.
IMPRESSION:
Multilevel disc disease as discussed above with moderate to severe
spinal canal narrowing and severe bilateral neural foraminal
narrowing at C5-C6.
THIS IS AN ABNORMAL FINDING.

I would trust your neurosurgeon firstly. I had an experience years ago with numbness in my left arm, cause by nerve irritation in that area. I did receive a cortisone shot in my neck, which calmed down the nerves and kept me from having to have surgery. That was the next step. Hopefully that would work for you, but I'm just relaying my own experience. Good luck!
