A member asked:
Mri-c6-7 there are bilateral uncovertebral osteophytes causing bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. what does this mean?

MRI: The radiologist is describing small spicules of bone that are causing some narrowing of the bony canal through which the nerve runs. The mr findings would have to be correlated to your clinical findings and a neurologist might be helpful there.
