Saw Neurologist in Oct 2010, for numbness in left arm and weak tricep. MRI and EMG testing was ordered. MRI reported: Discogenic disease, resulting in central canal and bilateral neural foraminal narrowing at C5-C6 and central canal and left neural foraminal narrowing at C6-C7. Findings at C6-C7 may account for patient's left-sided radicular symptoms.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion of the C-6 and C-7 or Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement recommended.
