Your MRI of the cervical spine shows age-related wear and tear (disc bulges and bone spurs) at C5–C6 and C6–C7 causing mild narrowing of the spinal canal. Importantly, there is no evidence of nerve root or spinal cord compression (radiculopathy/myelopathy), so surgery is not indicated based on this MRI alone. The straightening of the neck curve is likely due to muscle spasm.
Next Steps
The report also mentions heterogeneous marrow signal in the vertebral bodies, which is a non-specific finding and may be related to metabolic or hematological conditions. This should be evaluated with blood tests (CBC,
calcium,
vitamin D,
vitamin B12, iron profile, ESR/
CRP, renal function, and if clinically indicated, serum protein electrophoresis with immunofixation and serum free light chains).
