Mri results

Can anyone tell me what these mri results mean? I'm really afraid. Can I be fixed?

c1-2 no significant abnormality
c2-c3 bilateral facet and uncovertebral osteoarthritis slightly worse on the right. Mild to moderate right-sided foraminal narrowing.
c3-c4 Grade 1 anterolisthesis with right paracentral disc bulge and moderate facet osteoarthritis. Moderate right foraminal narrowing with mild lateral recess effacement, worse on the right. No central canal stenosis.
c4-c5 Posterior disc bulge with facet and uncovertebral osteoarthritis. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing without significant central canal stenosis.
c5-c6 Posterior disc osteophyte complex with anterior spondylosis. Bilateral facet and uncovertebral osteoarthritis.
moderate-to-severe left-sided foraminal stenosis.
c6 c7 posterior disc osteophyte complex with bilateral facet and unconvertebral osteoarthritis,worse on the left. severe left-sided foraminal narrowing. moderate lateral recess effacement and central canal stenosis.
c7 no significant abnormality.
Other..... The T1 and T2 vertebral bodies appear to be congenitally fused.

Impression Degenerative changes of the cervical spine severe at c5/6 and c6/7 where there is moderate-to-severe and severe left-sided foraminal narrowing demonstrated as detailed above. Findings are exaccerbated by a rotatory scoliosis extending into the upper thoracic segments with apparent congenital fusion to t1 and t2 disc spaces.

Thank You

Hi and Welcome Kim

I'm sorry you're having so much pain right now. Although we can't answer by reading your MRI I hope you're seeing a Neurosurgeon or Orthopedic Surgeon soon. Just use the blue box at the top of the page to look up your conditions. I also found www.chirogeek.com an informative website. Take care. Charry
