Smooth reversal of the cervical lordosis. minor disc bulge is effacing the csf anterior to the cord at c5-c6. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck: The reveral of the cervical lordosis is usually from muscle spasms. The bulging disc is pushing against the sac that holds the CSF and spinal cord. You don't mention of it is pushing against the cord itself so I will assume it doesn't. Usually need rest, pain meds and muscle relaxers. Keep all your appointments with your doctor. You might benefit from physical therapy too. Hope this helps.
