An : An opening that a nerve exits the spine through is called a foramen. You have a left and right foramen at every disc level. Stenosis is another word for narrowing. "severe right c5-6 foraminal stenosis" could pinch your C6 nerve root resulting in right arm pain, numbness, tingling and weakness. Depending on the severity of your symptoms you may need to see a spine surgeon.
