French term or phrase: uncodiscarthrose c5-c6 avec pincement de l'interligne intersomatique
This is part of a radiology report on my neck. Help please as I do not speak enough French to understand and the doctor could not translate for me. All I know is I have pain and want to know what it is and is it degenerative? Your help would be very welcomed. Thanking you in advance.
