Need of surgery or indication for surgery at C6-C7 depends on clinical features rather than on MRI findings. If you have no pain or no neurological deficits there is no need of surgery. If there is a correlation between clinical features and MRI findings then there is an indication for surgery to remove your suffering.

You might need surgery for focal left foraminal disc protrusion that contacts the exiting left L4 nerve root if the protrusion is affecting your quality of life. This type of surgery is most often accomplished via a very small incision.

If you are symptomatic then you may require surgery. Your spine specialist is the best judge.
For those patients who do require surgery for lumbar disk herniation, the reviewed procedures of nerve root decompression caused by disk herniation is favorable. Results of studies varied from 60-90% success rates.
First of all you must consult these things with your doctor. He might give you stereoids to easy up pain. Resting after surgery is allways needed. Beeing in excellent shape before the surgery also helps recovering from the actual surgery.
Spinal disc surgery is usually required because of herniation. This occurs when a person strains his or her spine but feels pains in the knee, and other joints or the leg.
A groin hernia is a protrusion of the intestine through the abdominal wall. It leaves a noticeable lump in the groin and can only be fixed by surgery.
Lumbar disc protrusion is a common spinal disc condition that causes lower back pain and other symptoms throughout a patient's lower body. The lumbar spine (lower back) is susceptible of disc protrusion because it supports most of the body's weight and is extremely flexible.
This is often managed with chiropractic care, physical therapy, and medications. In rare cases where the patient does not respond, surgery may be necessary.
