i am 32 years old i injured my neck and shoulder 4 months ago lifting chairs and tables i am a waitress. i still have so much pain and i cannot lift many things like carrying my groceries or carrying my laundry bag because it cause pressure and pain in my neck.
these are my mri results:
there is mild uncovertebral hypertrophy and disc bulge at c4-5 and c5-6 levels. minimal uncovertebral hypertrophy at c3-4 and c6-7. there is no focal disc protrusion seen. "no significant arthropathy demonstrated". there is no central canal or neural foramen stenosis seen.
mild degenerative changes as described in the midcervical spine.
my wcb physioterapist is telling me mi mri results are normal and that i can go back to work. but i still have pain and numbness and tingling in my arms hands legs and feet could these be arthritis? help!
