A member asked:
What does degenerative change,greatest at c5/c6 with moderate spinal canal and bilateral moderate to severe neural foraminal compromise mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foraminal compromise: Implies the 6th cervical nerve root may be compressed ( leading to potential muscle weakness in the upper arm and or radicular pain down to the thumb or index finger ) Further information is needed ( exam findings ) to sort out the significance of both this and the central canal stenosis ( I would discuss this with your neurologist or neurosurgeon )
