What does...there are some osteophytes narrowing the neuroforamina bilaterally at c4-5 mean?

Well, none of us has a neck that's getting any younger. Arthritis in the middle of the neck (C4 C5) has resulted in a bit of bone spurring (osteophytes). Those are taking up some of the space in the vetebral holes (foramina) through which the nerves pass. Now, whether or not this finding is causing the symptoms that led to your getting an MRI is another question. Whether they have symptoms or not, the majority of adults 40 and over have similar findings on MRI. The next step is to talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation. Nobody gets treatment based on MRI alone.
