What are the symptoms of spinal cord impingement when there is a herniated disc at c5 c6?

I had a herniated disk at C5 C6. My symptoms started out as just an aching in between my shoulder blades. Over a period of about 2 weeks it progressivly got worse, the pain became so bad in my neck, shoulders and down my arm I would sit up and cry at night. I couldn't get rid of the pain till I had surgery. My disc was herniated into my spinal cord which was causing impingement. I had alot of numbness, tingling, pins and needles all over my body. The pain was unbearable!

∙ 14y agoThe classic symptoms for a low back disk are: pain down the back of the glut and leg, muscle weakness in the leg, numbness and low Back pain. You can have one or all of the above. Neck disks typically cause pain radiating to the arm.

∙ 12y agoThe symptoms of a herniated disc depends on either the size and position of the disc. You may have pain in your lower back, numbness or pain in your leg, or loss of bladder control.

Define impingement upon dural sac and to a lesser extent the cord?
The dural sac covers the spine. Typical causes of dural sac impingement typically include bulging discs, herniated discs, or osteophytes. These conditions can also affect the spinal cord.
What is central cord impingement?
A central cord impingement is an incomplete injury to the cervical spinal cord. A central cord impingement results in extensive motor weakness in the upper extremities.
Spinal cord flattened ventrally due to intermittent impingement?
Spinal Stenosis is a degenerative process on the spinal cord. Narrowing of the spinal canal begins to the flattened the spinal cord resulting in root nerve compression.
What is the difference in spinal cord infringement and impingement?
infringement on c5 and c6 what does this mean
What is impingement upon the thecal sac?
The thecal sac is the covering for the spinal cord. This can be seen on an MRI. Impingement means that something is pressing on it.
What is neural impingement?
A neural impingement is a physiological flaw that will entail disintegration of the spinal column. This often causes so much pain and the treatment is mostly focused on alleviating the pain on your spinal cord.
What can happen if an intervertebral disk is hernieated?
As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc. When a herniated disc bulges out from between the vertebrae, the spinal nerves and spinal cord can become pinched. There is normally a little extra space around the spinal cord and spinal nerves, but if enough of the herniated disc is pushed out of place, then these structures may be compressed.
A herniated disc is an injury of which part of the body?
A herniated disc is an injury that can occur to your spinal cord and/or the roots of your nerves. It can be extremely painful for one to experience.
What does impingement of the ventral lateral surface of the cord at c4-5 with severe spinal stenosis mean?
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. The spinal canal is the space in your spinal column designed to house and protect the spinal cord. The 7 bones of your neck are known as cervical vertebrae. The narrowing of your spinal canal is most severe at the level of the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae (C4-5.) Impingement is a term that describes a body structure, usually bone, pushing into either a nerve structure or part of the cord. The cord is divided into ventral, or front, and dorsal, or back. Also the lateral, or side structure are being affected. To sum up, at the level of the 4th and 5th vertabrae of the neck, you have an impingement of the front and side portion of your spinal cord.It means narrowing.
What are the symptoms of myelopathy?
Myelopathy refers to the spinal cord's pathology. It is considered a spinal cord injury if it suffers from trauma. It is referred to as myelitis if the area is inflamed.
What is right paracentral disc protrusion at T8-T9 and T7-T8?
This means that the spinal disc ("shock absorber" between the vertebrae) is protruding (bulging) on the left into the area where the peripheral spinal nerve leaves the spinal cord (neural foramen). If the disc compresses (impinges) the spinal nerve in the neural foramen, there can be symptoms that radiate into the extremities. If the nerve impingement is in the neck, then symptoms are usually felt in the shoulder blade area and arm. In the low back, the symptoms can be felt in the buttock and back of the thigh ("sciatica") and even the entire leg and foot.
Calcium deposits in the back of your neck?
Calcium deposits of the spinal cord is known as stenosis. Stenosis is an arthritis of the spine when there is enough buildup to cause impingement.
