A member asked:

Mri result: smooth reversal of cervical lordosis. minor disc osteophyte bulge is effacing the csf anterior to the cord c5-c6. would i require surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No surgery: Straightening of cervical spine can be due to muscle spasm from whiplash, but can also be a normal finding. Osteophytes are the result of spine degeneration and usually do not need surgical correction. Effacement of the CSF anterior to the cervical cord is usually benign and asymptomatic.
