A member asked:
What is disc/osteophyte protrusion w/ minor canal & foraminal encroachment, left greater than right? it's been causing neck pain & spasms for months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck problems: It appears that you have both bone spurs pressing on nerve root coming out of the spinal cord and a ruptured disk pressing on the spinal cord. Evaluation by a neurosurgeon is best. A course of corticosteroid injections by a pain management specialist may be recommended.
