pain- low back, chronic.On (b)(6) 2007: patient underwent mri of cervical spine due to history of neck pain.Bilateral shoulder and arm pain with numbness, tingling and weakness for many years.Impression: mature osseous fusion at the c5-6 level.Disc degeneration and disc height loss at c4-5, c5-6, and c607 with anterior bridging osteophytes and possible partial fusion across the disc spaces; disc bulge and disc osteophyte complexes effacing the ventral thecal sac and slightly flattening the ventral margin of the spinal cord at different levels.No significant spinal stenosis; foraminal stenosis bilaterally at c7-t1 and on the left at c3-4.Correlation with oblique radiographs recommended for more optimal assessment of the degree of osseous foraminal stenosis; severe bilateral c2-3 facet arthrosis.On (b)(6) 2007: patient presented for an office visit to discuss mri results.Mri shows multilevel degenerative changes with no focal f indings.On (b)(6) 2007: patient presented with procedural indications: cervical radiculitis left sided c5; postlaminectomy syndrome, cervical; disc displacement without myelopathy, cervical.Planned procedure: cervical epidural steroid injection, left-sided c5 approach via catheter; fluoroscopic guidance; intravenous conscious sedation, physician directed.Complications: none apparent.On (b)(6) 2007: patient presented for an office visit.Assessment: neck pain, chronic.On (b)(6) 2007: patient presented with procedural indications: cervical radiculitis left sided c5; postlaminectomy syndrome, cervical; disc displacement without myelopathy, cervical.The patient underwent cervical epidural steroid injection, left-sided c5 approach via catheter; fluoroscopic guidance; intravenous conscious sedation, physician directed.No patient complications were reported.On (b)(6) 2007: patient presented for an office visit stated improvement from the surgery but still continued to have some pain.On (b)(6) 2008: patient presented for an office visit status post lumbar decompression and fusion.
