A small osteophyte is seen at the inferior endplate of C5 There is mild narrowing of the left neural foramina due to posterior ostephytes specifically at C3 and C4 level. The right side is remarkable. INTERPRETATION: Mild narrowing of the left neural foramina of the left C3 and C4 that can explain the patient s numbness. Otherwise, unremarkable cervical spine. Question: Are these serious? Can I lift anything? How often can I bend my head forward to read a book or study? Could you give me some idea about limitations and anything that I should know?
