Neck Pain ans stiffness
I am facing neck pain and stiffness since past one month.Started with physio and exercise and was almost relieved after 20 days but suddenly got stiffness and pain back.I went to an orthopedic and he suggested MRI.Here is the outcome-
· At C4-C5: Diffuse disc bulge with posterior disc osteophyte complex indenting on the thecal sac
causing right mild neural foraminal stenosis without significant spinal canal stenosis.
Compression over right exiting C4 nerve root.
· T2 sagittal screening of thoracic and lumbar spine is unremarkable. No evidence of dorsal
kyphosis.
Request doctors to Kindly suggest how serious is this and what is the solution? Is this curable?
