Here are my cervical MRI results from today. Last one was 8 months ago and didnt show most of what is said now. Curious what all of you think. The spinal fluid leak and buckling of the ligamentum flavum dont sound too good to me. ———

C2/C3: Small posterior disc protrusion
C3/C4: Broad-based disc osteophyte bulge with buckling of the ligamentum
flavum and mild central stenosis. Slight flattening of the ventral cord surface and slight effacement of the ventral CSF column has increased. There is fluid signal seen in the C3-C4 interspinous space and C4-C5
interspinous space and this is likely from postop changes and/or related to degeneration.
C4/C5: Posterior bilateral foraminal stenosis
C5/C6: Posterior bilateral foraminal stenosis
C6/C7: mild disc osteophyte bulge with slight effacement of ventral thecal sac

@dzottola I would suggest a surgeon with experience in complicated surgeries, probably at a university hospital or large regional facility
