A member asked:
Hi doctors, was just wondering what is cervical spondylosis and c5 - c6 and c6 -c7 disc shows diffuse circumferential bulge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This means that you: Have arthritis setting in at a couple levels in your neck (spondylosis) at specific joints in your spine with possible inflammation from this irritation as well. The diffuse circumferential bulges suggest degenerative disc disease and flattening of your discs, from either past trauma or disc issues that are causing them to bulge beyond the vertebral bodies. Hope that helps!
