Hello, I got my MRI results and my Dr. Said does not believe my symptoms are due to my stenosis but is referring my results to neurology for further evaluation. Does this still seem like cervical radiculopathy and or thoracic outlet?
Study Result
Impression
Impression:
Degenerative disc changes and trace degenerative retrolisthesis at
the C5-6 and C6-7 levels.Moderate to severe bilateral foraminal stenosis at the C5-6 and C6-7
levels.No significant central canal stenosis.
No acute bone, joint or soft tissue abnormality.

Narrative
[HST]: NECK INJURY WITH UPPER EXTREMITY PARESTHESIAS PERSISTENT
neck trauma 12/5Exam: MR cervical spine without contrast
History: NECK INJURY WITH UPPER EXTREMITY PARESTHESIAS PERSISTENT::
neck trauma 12/5Comparison: X-ray 12/29/2017
Technique: The following MR sequences of the cervical spine were
performed without contrast:
Sagittal T1, T2, STIR, axial T2, GREFindings:
Straightening of the cervical lordosis and trace degenerative
retrolisthesis at the C5-6 and C6-7 levels again noted. No abnormal
bone marrow signal.No Chiari malformation. Visualized posterior fossa is normal. No
cord signal abnormality. No significant facet joint arthropathy is
identified.Axial morphology:
C2-C3: No disc herniation. No thecal sac or neural foraminal
narrowing.
C3-C4: No disc herniation. No thecal sac or neural foraminal
narrowing.
C4-C5: No disc herniation. No thecal sac or neural foraminal
narrowing.
C5-C6: Broad-based noncompressive disc protrusion. The central canal
is patent. Moderate to severe bilateral foraminal stenosis due to
disc and uncovertebral osteophyte.
C6-C7: Broad-based noncompressive disc protrusion. Central canal is
patent. Moderate to severe bilateral foraminal stenosis due to disc
and uncovertebral osteophyte.
C7-T1: No disc herniation. No thecal sac or neural foraminal
narrowing.Thank you for the response Dr.
So assuming all goes well with my treatment/recovery will jiu-jitsu, and heavy weight lifting still be an option in my future or has that ship sailed?
