'What does it mean when the MRI comes back with C5-C6 and C6-C7 disc osteophytic complex with some narrowing of the left lateral recesses at these two levels?

From what I see in your question, you're talking about the bones in your neck called cervical bones. For the #'s you gave, it would mean there's narrowing or lack of a gap between cervical #5 thru cervical #7. (5-6-7) That's most of the way up from the base of the neck on the backside. Narrowing of spaces where there's usually gaps is caused by wear & tear and aging usually and when the cushions between the bones are shrinking from wearing down or the aging process the consequence is narrowing. In this case on the left sides of C5 thru C7.

The subarticular recesses are located in the lumbar spinal canal. A narrowing of the subarticular recesses is referred to as lateral recess stenosis for which surgery may be required.
What does mild generalized broad-based bulging of the disk C5-C6 with slight encroachment of both lateral recesses?
ment of both lataral recesses
What is the mean of L4-5 disc shows large posterolateral disc protrusion indenting the thecal sac and compromising both the lateral recesses?
posterocentral
What solid figure has one base but no lateral faces?
A cone has a round base and a narrowing round top. I hope this answers your question!
Left lateral recess?
The left lateral recess refers to a condition whereby the narrowing reduces the available space within the exit doorway of the spinal canal. The left lateral recess may be caused by the arthritic overgrowth of the facet joints of the degeneration of the disc with the loss of the disc height.
What is an annular disc bulge which is eccentric to the left and there is a mild bilateral lateral recess narrowing left greater than right indicative of?
A bulging disk on the left side.
What does Large diffuse annular disc bulge contacting the traversing nerve root in the lateral recesses bilaterally?
One of the soft, cushiony discs that separates each bone in your backbone from its neighbor has begun to bulge and put pressure on two of the nerves branching out from the spinal cord.
Do all of the spinal ventral rami branch join one another lateral to the vertebral column to form complex nerve plexuses?
False
What is Osteophytic ridging in lateral and patellofemoral compartments?
Osteophytes are your body's reaction to stress in a joint, and are typically found in age-related arthritis. In your case, these are found in the knee joint where the kneecap meets the thighbone.
What does impingement of the ventral lateral surface of the cord at c4-5 with severe spinal stenosis mean?
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. The spinal canal is the space in your spinal column designed to house and protect the spinal cord. The 7 bones of your neck are known as cervical vertebrae. The narrowing of your spinal canal is most severe at the level of the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae (C4-5.) Impingement is a term that describes a body structure, usually bone, pushing into either a nerve structure or part of the cord. The cord is divided into ventral, or front, and dorsal, or back. Also the lateral, or side structure are being affected. To sum up, at the level of the 4th and 5th vertabrae of the neck, you have an impingement of the front and side portion of your spinal cord.It means narrowing.
What is lateral to the ribs?
