My brother has taken this MRI scan for him but he is not willing to visit his doctor fearing of a major issue. I would like to help him out. Pls provide opinion on the below findings. Broad Based Postero-central disc protrusion @ c4-5,c5-6 and c6-7 levels causing indentation of anterior sub-archanoid space. No evidence of nerve root compression. Straightening of the cervical spine is noted. Small osteophytes are seen in lower cervical levels. Disc Desiccation is seen at all levels. Please help us with an opinion
