    Morning I am new to this sight. I had a CT scan done of my neck because I started having neck pain a few months ago, and it started happening at night when I went to sleep, it would wake me up and the pain would radate down to my shoulders and make my shoulders feel like they were on fire, now my neck is hurting all the time. My CT scan states: taking into account the metallic artifact at C6-7, central canal appears patent. Left worse then right foraminal narrowing due to bilateral uncovertebral arthropathy. Mild C5-6 disc disease.
    C6-7 fusion surgery with bilateral uncovertebral arthropathy causing left worse then right foraminal narrowing.

    So does this mean I have a pinched nerve? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am a pain patient due to my back and really don’t need more pain. thank you

    I guess no one will answer this for me, not sure how this all works on here but it would be nice to have some answer for my question.

    Thanks
