It depends upon which disk is herniated and what nerves it is impinging and for how long. Usually loss of bladder control would be more common, and again there are many factors including which disk, where it is herniated, is it impinging a nerve root or the spinal cord itself.

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!

Will a herniated disc get better by itself?

If by "get better" you mean stop hurting, the Yes, most times a herniated disk will get better on its own. Approximately 90% of disk herniations stop causing pain within 3 months all by themselves. If you cant wait three months for the pain to go away then there are many options for pain control while you wait. For example, drugs, chiropractic, decompression therapy, stretching, exercise, etc. Not all of these work equally as well for everyone, and usually you need to try one at a time until you find what works best for you. The best guarantee for pain control probably comes from drugs, but these also come with various short-term and long-term side effects. Specific stretching techniques, are the cheapest and often also very effective with no side effects; a good chiropractor or other spine specialist will know which ones you should do for your specific case. Decompression works for some people, but it is often very expensive. Surgery should not be done unless there are severe neurological disorders (loss of bowel control or other muscle paralysis) or if the pain wont go away on its own after 3-6 months (the 10% that dont get better). If by "get better" you mean repair itself back to a normal looking disk, probably not. Recent studies have shown that 30% of the population has a bulging or herniated disk as judged by MRI, and most of them do not cause pain any more, or never did cause pain. It is likely a normal part of aging, so if it doesnt hurt, dont worry about it!
