Smile New MRI shows dramatic reduction in problems!

I had a new MRI at Cedar Sinai and received the radiology report.

Bad news is that there are problems from C2 thru T1 (but many are fairly minor, things like "minimal posterior disk bulge with no spinal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing)." For the first time, the MRI identifies "narrowing of the neural foramen" and "facet hypertrophy" at C5/6--not good.

Good news is that all the severe and moderate adjectives have been replaced with minimal and mild! Previous moderate and severe displacement and compression of the spinal cord is now "impression but not compression" of the spinal cord.

So I guess I have reason to celebrate, huh?

A question...the facet hypertrophy at C5/6 rules out ADR at that level, right?
