A member asked:
My mom's mri report: stenosis of left c6/7 intervertebral foramen due to a disc fragment causing compression of left c7 nerve root." is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends - but can be: Serious is relative - but she should definitely see a neurologist and have a thorough neurologic exam. Hopefully the report says whether it's mild, moderate, or severe. Metismd can help if you need a second opinion...
