I am a fifty year old male who originally injured my back 25 years ago (load bearing on sholudes of 150 lbs with roational injury) and finally found a doc who ordered MRIs. Results as follows
Mild degenerative disc disease c5-6, C6-7 at C6-7 diffuse disc bulge produces moderate canal stenosis. This is accentuated by some ligmentum flavum hypertophy.
Multiple schmorl's nodes and some mild wedge deformity of the upper thoracic vertebral bodies. Mild posterior disc herniations at T5-6, T6-7, T7-8, Theses mildly deform the thoracic cord in theses levels but there is no significant canal stenosis.
What does all this mean?.
