What is cervical spondylosis(cervical osteoarthritis ) and what does it mean mild to left sided c4-c5?

Aging: Spondylosis basically means aging changes of the spine, which can include degeneration of the discs, arthritis in the joints of the spine, bone spurs, bulging discs. Mild and left sided simply refer to the severity and location of the spondylosis, and C4 - 5 tells you which level of the spine is involved. It may seem unusual to have aging changes at age 28, but early spondylosis can be seen.

Cervical spondylosis: Cervical spondylosis is an age-related degeneration ('wear and tear') of the bones (vertebrae) and discs in the neck. One feature of the degeneration is that the edges of the vertebrae often develop small, rough areas of bone called osteophytes. Over many years, the discs become thinner. http://patient.info/health/cervical-spondylosis-leaflet
