Q: Spinal Stenosis, Any Help Is Appreciated!

Just been diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis.
Not really sure what all of that is about, any info would help.
Also, my CT scan had a lot of statements I could not understand.
Any help interpreting that would be appreciated as well.

"Hyperkyphotic curvature of the cervical spine"
"Disc herniation osteophyte complex flattening the ventral margin of the cervical cord"
"Multiple disc herniations with spinal and neural foraminal stenosis"
"Loss of normal cervical lordosis with a hyperkyphotic curvature"

Thanks for your help!!
