Scotto,
For my untrained eye the loss of disc height seems apparent at C6/7, but I'm don't know enough to see the osteophytes at C6/7 and C5/6.
I had a "very large" osteophyte on the right side of my uncinate process of C4 that had the spinal cord compressed over to the left side of the spinal canal. It looked really wicked on the MRI. It was removed before the placement of the ADR.
That was 13 months ago. Today I have no symptoms, but I haven't had a follow-up either. If it's grown back it is currently asymptomatic.
Good luck on making a decision.
Jeff
