Someone very near to me whose age is somewhere around 56 is experiencing a neck pain and nurabness in his right arm,wrist and fingers without any pain in the area.the MRI report shows :
1) Mild Posterocentral disc protrusion at C3/4 and C4/5 Levels indenting the thecal sac.

2) Broad based posterior disc bulge at C5 /6 level which along wih bordering osteophytes and hypertrophy is causing canal narrowing indenting the thecal sac and bilateral exiting nerve roots.

Please guide me about the treatment and do u have any.
 
It sounRAB like stenosis of the neck caused by bone spurs or arthritis. Treatment is usually conservative, which is physical therapy, antiinflammatory meRAB, ice or heat packs etc. PT is usually no more than 6 weeks, a couple of times a week. If this works nothing more is needed unless the person has more symptoms. If PT does not work, other more aggressive treatment options are then looked at. I have this also, and wake with nurab hanRAB sometimes. Pt helped my symptoms, I do go back for a followup after 6 months because of cervical stenosis.
