When bone comes into contact with bone at the joints some wear takes place which causes damage to the bones, When this happens the body attempts to repair the damage which leads to a spur of bone sticking out from the joint making things even worse and sometimes interfering with the nerves that pass between them from the spinal chord to the rest of the body.
c5 and c6 are vertebrae in the neck arthritis can cause a growth of bone that ends up putting pressure on the nerves passing out of the spinal chord into the body, in this case I think your arms.
you can
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.
cervical vertebral c5-6
The c5 vertebra is located in the lower part of the neck, just below the c4 vertebra. The c4 vertebra is slightly higher up in the neck compared to the c5 vertebra.
look at the trans pan if its a c5 it will be square with i think 13 bolts the c4 has the same pan i heard the c5 is 7in long and the c4 is 6 something
Based on his function my guess is c5 and c6 or C6 & c 7 If he broke c4 or above he would likely be on ventilator 24/7
spinal cord
YES, if it's the stock c5 pan. The stock c5 pan has a hump in the middle of the pan for the transmission oil pickup, that is the only difference. However if it is changing or switching pans you are doing, there is some wiggle room. Since the c5 pan has the hump and the c4 pan is flat, you can put a c5 pan on a c4 trans. but you can't put a STOCK c4 pan on a c5 trans. Why did I emphasize stock? because if you can get a deep enough aftermarket c4 pan think it has to be deeper than 4 inches) it will clear the c5's oil pickup. So in other words if you get a deep enough c4 pan (deeper that 4 in. I think...) it will fit on a c5.
C4 or C5 vertebra.

what is a payout for having surgery and fusing c4,c5,c6,c7 and having permanant damage to right index finger.
The C5 vertebra is the fifth cervical vertebra in the neck, located just below the C4 vertebra and above the C6 vertebra. It plays a crucial role in supporting the head and allowing for neck movement. Injuries to the C5 vertebra can affect motor and sensory functions in the upper body.
The C5-6 vertebrae are located in the cervical (neck) region of the spine. Specifically, they are positioned between the C5 and C6 vertebrae, forming part of the cervical spine that supports the neck and head.
C5 and C6 are cervical vertebrae found in the neck. Anterior osteophytes of C5 and C6 are bone spurs that have formed on the front portion of vertebrae 5 and 6 in your neck. This can be a very painful condition.
Vertebrae are bones in the spine that contain the spinal cord and allow for spinal nerves to exit. ? Being bones, vertebrae do not control the arms.The spinal nerve roots ?that come out of the vertebrae do however control many aspects of function, including: muscle movement, sensation, blood vessel tone, and your hair standing on end.The spinal levels that control the arms are C5-T1. ?There may be a little T2 in there for sensation, and there may be a little C4 in there for shoulder muscles; but the answer is generally accepted to be C5-T1.
