what does disc desiccation of interverterbral discs at multiple levels t2-t3 t3-t4 t4-t5 t6-t7 t8-t9 and t10-11 at thislevels disc osteophyte effaces the ventral aspect of the thecal sac and minimally deforms the underlying ventral spinal cord at t2-t3 and on the right side at t3-t4 and on the right side at t8-t9 without signal abnormality within the spinal cord itself.
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of the report. As the report can only guide us to come closer to an actual condition and is not a diagnosis by its own. Since there appears to be a majority of the disc at multiple levels Injured, it sounds more of the disc losing the water content leading to destination. At some levels it is even interfering with the spinal cord as well. Now the important thing to understand here is we should look out for a proper clinical examination and find the signs symptoms too. This can be understood by taking the verbal complains and also by checking out the dermatome and motors. Also, if the pain is radiating or localized the treatment will follow a simple pathway. Rest, medication, physical therapy, etc in my clinical practice we try to figure out the major issues associated and plan the treatment accordingly. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
