What does a protrusion in C6 mean?

Sounds like a (1) bulging disc, or (2) herniated disc. The disk is a hard rubbery "shock absorber" located between each veterbrae. They have a tendency to bulge --like mashing a marshmellow--as we get older and the stretching of the nerve fibers within the disc can cause chronic pain. A herniation is where the disk bulges out in such a way that the part "bulging" puts pressure on a nerve root exiting between each vertebrae. This causes terrible pain to radiate down the arm, and if chronic can cause weakness (and waisting) in certain muscles in the arm on the affected side.
