Can a "severe left foraminal disc osteophyte complex and contact of the exiting C6 nerve" cause problems with vomiting?
Foraminal disc protrusion?
Foraminal encroachment refers to that degeneration in the spinal column which causes the obstruction of the foramina.
What its encroachment of the right and left foramina?
It's basically compression of your spine by the surrounding canal in the specific area your doctor is speaking of. Foramina, in this case, are the spaces in between your vertebrae. Encroachment is squeezing or compression of those spaces. I have bilateral bony foraminal encroachment of some of the disc spaces of my C spine. It doesn't normally bother me at all, though.
What is neural foraminal narrowing?
I assume it is for your back?It is the closing of a space through bone. You can replace the word foraminal with "canal", such as the spinal canal. It is gaining tissue and compressing the nerves.
What is posterior disk osteophyte complex?
Disc osteophyte complex usually occurs as a person ages. It is a spinal condition where a spinal vertebra is afflicted by osteophytes or commonly known as bone spurs. This often results in experiencing headaches, stiff neck, and weakness in the shoulders.

What does it mean by a minor bulging annulus or disc spur complex is appreciated at the c4 c5 level causing minimal impression on the anterior thecal sac and right foraminal encroachment?
Sounds like it's directly from a MRI report..... The annulus is the outer layers of the disc. A disc/spur complex would mean a combination of the disc bulge and spurring (rough edges) of bone. c4-c5 is referring to the disc/disc space between the 4th and 5th cervical (neck) vertebrae. The thecal sac surrounds the spinal cord and holds fluid that surrounds the cord. Yours is being mildly compressed at the level of c4-c5. Right foraminal encroachment means that the opening (foramen) where a nerve exits the spine is more narrow than normal.

What is left foraminal annular tear?
A left foraminal annular tear is when the annulus fibrosus rips or tears. The annulus fibrosus is the tough exterior of the intervertebral disc.
