Sounds like a (1) bulging disc, or (2) herniated disc. The disk is a hard rubbery "shock absorber" located between each veterbrae. They have a tendency to bulge --like mashing a marshmellow--as we get older and the stretching of the nerve fibers within the disc can cause chronic pain. A herniation is where the disk bulges out in such a way that the part "bulging" puts pressure on a nerve root exiting between each vertebrae. This causes terrible pain to radiate down the arm, and if chronic can cause weakness (and waisting) in certain muscles in the arm on the affected side.

What do MRI results mean when they say level C6-C7 demonstrates a small central disc protrusion associated with?
That means there is a bulging disc that is impinging on the central canal (spinal cord) between the vertebral bodies at the C6-C7 levels, which may or may not be symptomatic.
What does a right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 C6 causing focal complete effacement of right paramedian subarachnoid space and right side cord deformity mean and how serious is it?
A right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 - C6 that causes focal complete effacement is often referred to as a herniated disc. It can compress nerves and cause tingling and numbness. Your physician will be able to evaluate how serious the condition is and whether it requires treatment.
What do MRI results mean when they say level C5-C6 moderate diffuse spondylotic disc protrusion noted causing ventral compression with thecal sac?
c5 and c6 are vertebrae in the neck arthritis can cause a growth of bone that ends up putting pressure on the nerves passing out of the spinal chord into the body, in this case I think your arms.
What is C6 7 right paracentral and foraminal disco-osteophytic protrusion?
C6-7 right paracentral and foraminal disco-osteophytic protrusion refers to a condition where there is a bulging of the disc and bone spurs (osteophytes) at the C6-C7 vertebral level in the cervical spine. The term "paracentral" indicates that the protrusion is located slightly off-center, towards the right side, which may impinge on nearby spinal nerves. This condition can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, radiculopathy, or tingling in the arms if nerve roots are affected. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
What does left uncinate hypertrophy and grade 1 disc protrusion mean?

What is a Prominent broad based posterior and lateral disc protrusion?
My husband just got his mri report, at c2-c3 minimal left foraminal, c3-c4-3mm posterior central protrusion,c4-c5-posterior annular bulging, c5-c6prominent posterior bulge/broad based protrusion causing right goraminal stenosis, c6-c7 small posterior protrusion.. He has sever pain in his left arm...what should we do..
Can early right posterolateral osteodiscal protrusion with early impingement upon the proximal right C6 cause carpal tunnel?
Yes, early right posterolateral osteodiscal protrusion at the C6 level can potentially lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. This occurs if the protrusion causes nerve root compression or alters cervical spine mechanics, leading to increased pressure on the median nerve as it travels down the arm. Additionally, muscle imbalances or altered biomechanics resulting from cervical issues can contribute to wrist and hand symptoms. However, a thorough clinical evaluation is necessary to establish a direct correlation.
What is a left eccentric disc bulge at c6 c7?
With degenerative disc disease, disc bulging occurs with flattening out of the disc and subsequent spreading out. Typical bulging presents symmetrical, but sometimes a protrusion will develop that is eccentric, ie., asymmetrical bulging. An eccentric protrusion will be to one side, in this case left, sometimes causing neurologic symptoms on that side, sometimes not. A protrusion is less than 3 mm, whereas a herniation exceeds 3 mm.
What is a disc protrusion with osteophytes?
A disc protrusion with osteophytes refers to a condition in the spine where there is a bulging or herniation of an intervertebral disc along with the formation of bony outgrowths called osteophytes. The disc protrusion occurs when the gel-like center of the disc pushes out through a tear in the outer layer, potentially causing compression of nearby nerves or the spinal cord. Osteophytes are bony spurs that form in response to degeneration or injury, often seen in conditions like osteoarthritis. This combination of disc protrusion and osteophytes can contribute to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area.
Is Nokia c6 a symbian phone?
there are two nokia c6: c6-00 and c6-01. c6-00 runs on symbian s60v5 c6-01 runs on symbian^3
Protrusion posterolateral to the left at C6-C7 indenting the exiting nerve root?
The protrusion at the C6-C7 level suggests a herniated disc or a bulging disc that is pressing against the left exiting nerve root. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness radiating down the arm, depending on the specific nerve root affected. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention to relieve the pressure on the nerve root. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management plan.
