It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue. I had a MRI diagnosis that said dorsal protrusion of C5-6 disc, effacing the ventral arachnoid space and indenting the cord + bilateral foraminal narrowing leading to compression of exiting root. This is probably a more medical description of dessication or maybe one of the case. But I was advised "surgery" wherein they will remove the herniated disc and replace it with a bone. This bone will be held in place with a titanium plate. The bone will fuse with vertebrae over a period of 1 month and form one bone mass. It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue.
