What does narrowing of the left neural foremen secondary to disc osteophyte complex mean? thankyou.

Just like it sounds:: Just kidding. It means that there is a bone spur/bulging disc that is putting pressure on a nerve coming out of your neck. If you are having symptoms in your left arm then this may be the reason.
