This seems like a "slipped disc" in the spine around the neck region (cervical spine) which is causing pressure on the surroundings of the spinal cord and nerve routes. The Mild left neuroforaminal narrowing refers to a narrowing of the cavity in the spine where nerves leave the spinal cord. Hope that helps! If in doubt, consult the radiologist or physician who produced this report.

What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
It sounds like you have nerves being pinched as a result of a narrowing of the space required for these to pass out from the spinal chord to other parts of the body. An osteophite is a bone growth that can take place between the vertebrae and is a result of degenerative arthritis.
