What to MRI results mean if they say C5 C6 moderate central disk protrusion is present This causes complete effacement of the anterior thecal sac but no cord compression There are also mild posterior?

c5-c6 is the location of the disks in question. central means the 'middle' and protrusion means that there is some 'bulging'. effacement means 'showing' or 'opening' and anterior means the 'front'. posteriormeans the 'back'. this doesn't give you a diagnosis or complete answer to your question because the MD that ordered your mri should be the one answering your questions. hopefully, however, you have been given a little more knowlege of the 'lingo' to make your conversation with him/her a little less daunting and a little clearer. good luck and give your MD a call!
