[|Human|] Cervical spondylosis with disc/osteophyte complex C5-C6 resulting in mild spinal stenosis. Moderate bilateral neural foraminal stenosis is present. mild flattening of cervical cord, but no intrinsic lesions or extrinsic compression. Is this something that would require surgery? If so, what type of surgeon do you recommend?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Due to cervical stenosis pain may remain persistent to compression of nerve root there can be tingling numbness in your arm and pain.Also, there can be large disc bulge which is compressing over spinal cord. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief. Consult spine surgeon for further help. Hope this answers your query.
