Default Can someone explain my MRI results?

Hi Experts

What do these notes from Radiology mean in laymans terms?

C5-C6: There are posterio endplate hypertrophic changes eccentric towards the right, with slight effacement of the right ventral aspect of the thecal sac, and narrowing the procimal aspect of the right neural foramen. The left neural foramen is patent.

C6-C7: There is also mild endplate hypertrophic changes and broad based disc herniation/spur slight effacing the right ventral aspect of the thecal sac without central canal stenosis. Slight narrowing of the right neural foramen is seen.

IMPRESSION:

1) Spontylotic changes as noted above, particularly at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels resulting in right neural foraminal stenosis. No evidence of dentral canal stenosis or cord compression.

Thank you
