According to the MRI plus the diagnostics (e.g. positive Spurling’s a week after initial injury), I have a disc extrusion @C5-6 disc causing effacement of the left foramen with the presence of anterior and posterior osteophytes (MRI report does not indicate that osteophytes are encroaching; but it also doesn’t say they aren’t – at least at the c5-6 level.) So, how would a physician classify it? Herniation? Stenosis? Both?
