Question
Hello, I am a native of Denmark and I have lived in Massachusetts for 13 years. 2 years ago we moved back to Denmark. I now have more neck pain - and my doctor here in Denmark does not understand the files I have brough with me from The States. I have the result of the MRI and I would be very very pleased if you can tell me - what it means (so that I can tell the doctor - who prescribes Neurontin to me)
"At the C3-4 level, there is uncovertebral spurring on the left without significant neural foraminalcompromise.
At C4-5 there is uncovertebral spurring on the left resulting in mild to moderate left sided neural foraminal stenosis
At C5-6 there is mild left sided facet arthrosis

I will be very very thankful for your help - in a language that I can understand.
Best regards,
Jette Rasmussen in Denmark

Answer
Jette,
 What the MRI is saying is this:
At C3-4 - there is some extra bone growth or spurring but without causing any closing or compromise to the foraminal canal or area where the nerves exit.
At C4-5 - there is extra bone growth or spurring with left sided narrowing of the foraminal opening. Foraminal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal foramen, the hole through which passes a spinal nerve as it exits the spine.
At C5-6 there is mild wear and tear or degeneration at the left facet.  The facet is a joint that helps with movement of the cervical spine.

 I hope this helps clear some things up for you. Good luck.
