You need a medical diagnosis and opinion for this question. THIS is NOT the site to do it.
You basically have a herniated disc (slipped disc) in your middle back that's pressing on your spinal cord.
You have protrusion of the disc between thoracic six and seventh vertebrae. This protrusion has created indentation on the sac of dura matter on the anterolateral region of the spinal cord. This can compress your spinal cord.
This describes a minor bulging of a spinal disc at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a slight compression of the thecal sac (the membrane surrounding the spinal cord) and minimal displacement of the epidural fat. It may lead to symptoms like low back pain or sciatica. Tracking the condition with a healthcare provider is recommended.
A disc herniation can be serious because it can cause severe pain and loss of feeling in your arms and legs. This kind of herniation basically means the rubbery cushion between the bones has moved out of its proper place.
I've got the same problem but with a right sided protrusion, my osteopath and sports rehab therapist are confident i can stabilise it with yoga, swimming and area specific strengthening exercises! will let you know....
What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
For a paracentral disc protrusion with an annular tear, conservative treatment options include physical therapy, pain management with anti-inflammatory medications, and activity modification to reduce strain on the spine. In cases where symptoms persist or worsen, epidural steroid injections may be considered to alleviate inflammation and pain. Surgical intervention, such as a discectomy, may be recommended if conservative measures fail to provide relief or if there are significant neurological deficits. Always consult a healthcare professional for a personalized treatment plan.
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.

Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
