Thecal sac flattening occurs when a herniated disc has into the spinal canal that it is pushing on the thecal sac. The thecal sac is the membrane of dura mater that surrounds the spinal cord and the cauda equina.

Your back hurts.
Posterior disc osteophyte is a condition where more than one spinal vertebrae or disc is affected by bone spurs. This can happen during aging, from a degenerative disease, obesity, or from your body producing extra nodules of bone.
what is a multilevel disc desiccation with posterior disc/spur at C-4-c5.c6.c7 effacing the ventral thecal sac and contracting the ventral cord
This is called a broad based disc herniation
Your doctor is the one to ask. If you mean bone breaking, very serious. Perhaps paralysis.
