can also occur in the cervical spine. The incidence of cervical disk herniation is most common between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae. The second most common area for cervical disk herniation occurs between
Arm pain is the most common symptom of a cervical herniated disc along with numbness and tingling along the arm to the fingertips. It is most common in the 30 - 50 year old age group and can start quite spontaneously after a trauma or injury to the cervical spine.
The most common method for diagnosing cervical dysplasia is the Pap smear

In the United States, cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women aged 35-54, and the third most common cancer of the female reproductive tract.
Cervical spondylosis is one of the most common degenerative disc conditions. When multilevel neural foraminal narrowing is most prominent via MRI, this shows where a nerve root is potentially being impinged.
Between the fith and sixth cervical vertibrae (neck bones) the cartilage disk between them is sticking out a bit to the left. This is most likely pinching the nerve root. This particular nerve root serves the biceps and wrist extensors possibly causing some weakness. There may be and pain/numbness that runs down the arm to the thumb. Reflexes in you mid-forearm may also affected.
Cervical Cancer I think.

Check disc most common
It means that the disc between L5-S1 has protruded out to one side (not centrally), and is affecting (most likely compressing) the S1 nerve root which is below the level of the herniation (the L5 nerve root has already exited the IVF). From this report I am assuming you are having some sensory or motor problems in your lower limbs?!
Lets look at the terms first:T8-9 are the 8th and 9th vertebrae in the thoracic (chest) region. There is damage between them.Disc desiccation means that the soft cushion (disc) between the boney vertebra is dried out.Degeneration means that it is not like it was and has broken down.Inferior means below.Subligamentous is another word for disc herniation.Disc herniation means that the soft disc has pushed out and is pushing (abutting) the spinal cord.This disc herniation is occurring behind the upper half of T9.It can cause lot of pain in the chest area. The ribs tend to feel heavier as the day goes on. You can also feel very short of breath and it hurts to take a deep breath and have tremendous pain when laughing, sneezing or coughing.Laying down gives the most relief. When you sit you will find that leaning back about 30 degrees helps.See link below (showing herniation in the lumbar region but is the same in the thoracic region):
