Not unless you're dizzy.
This is likely from the post procedure Radiologist's report. What it says is that the CT scan after dye injection and shaking you on the table like a martini (or just rotating you up and down a bit) shows that you have a mild disk bulge at your C6/7 disk (the disk between Cervical (neck) vertebrae 6 and 7, which are fairly low down the neck) doesn't appear to be bulging on the sides (laterally) which could press on a nerve.
Your cervical disks do not affect your walking at all - the cervical area controls and affects your arms, hands, fingers and associated nerves. The legs are controlled by the lumbar area, mid point of the back to the tailbone.
UNLESS the cervical cord is impinged enough to be damaged. Then symptoms can occur anywhere below the level of spinal cord damage.

What does it mean to have Left paracentral annular tear with asymmetric disc protrusion causing anterior thecal sac compression and mild narrowing of both neural foraminae Can it be cured completely?
What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
What is paracentral posterior disk protrusion at T12-L1 causing pressure over the anterior aspect of the thecal sac?
A paracentral posterior disk protrusion at the T12-L1 level refers to a bulging of the intervertebral disk that is located towards the center and posteriorly, which can encroach upon the spinal canal. This type of protrusion can exert pressure on the anterior aspect of the thecal sac, which houses the spinal cord and nerve roots, potentially leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremities. The condition may require monitoring or treatment depending on the severity of symptoms and the degree of nerve compression.
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..
What is pathopysiologyof hernia?
hernia develops at place with weakening or absence of muscular covering. it develops when there is an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, causing protrusion of the organs, which can be observed by protrusion of skin. the common sites are: the umbilicus and the inguinal it can also happen internally, in which case, it is called the internal hernia.
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.
What is broad left sub articular 7mm disc protrusion with marked impingement on the traversing l5 root on the left?
A broad left subarticular 7mm disc protrusion refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc has bulged outwards in the left subarticular region, measuring 7mm in size. This protrusion is causing significant pressure on the traversing L5 nerve root on the left side, which can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. The marked impingement indicates that the protrusion is severely affecting the nerve, potentially requiring medical evaluation and treatment options.
Focal disc protrusion?
a small protrusion of the disk is caused buy pressure on the spine. speaking to the disk itself if there is a weakened spot in the canula the pressure on that disk is more susceptible to give under the spinal pressure, thus causing it to protrude possibly putting pressure directly on the sciatic nerve.
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 anterior spondylosis?
Anterior spondylosis is a degenerative condition affecting the vertebral body and discs in the front of the spine. It can lead to bone spurs, disc degeneration, and narrowing of the spinal canal, potentially causing pain and discomfort. Treatment may involve pain management, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery.
Why goitre can cause eye protrusion?
Goitre can cause eye protrusion, known as exophthalmos, primarily due to Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder that leads to hyperthyroidism. In this condition, the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland and surrounding tissues, causing inflammation and swelling behind the eyes. This increased pressure in the eye socket can push the eyes forward, resulting in protrusion. Additionally, the enlarged thyroid gland can also contribute to the overall pressure on adjacent structures, exacerbating the eye symptoms.
What does central protrusion with annular tear mean?
Central protrusion with annular tear refers to a condition in the intervertebral disc where the inner gel-like material (nucleus pulposus) bulges out through a tear in the outer layer (annulus fibrosus). This protrusion typically occurs at the center of the disc and can lead to pressure on nearby spinal nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. The annular tear indicates damage to the disc's outer layer, which can result from degeneration or injury. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage symptoms and prevent further complications.
