Default stabbing back pain Mri report

Hello every body. Im the new guy here. I have a stabbing back pain under my right shoulder blade. It was caused by a car accident a year ago, yet it hasn't gone away. I finally got an Mri done and need help figuring out what it all translate to.

Here is What is said for the thoracic area.:
FINDINGS:
There is some straightening of the normal curvature of the thoracic spine, likely positional. Minimal disc dessication changes are noted. Small left paracentral disc protrusion at T2-3 which mildly effaces the ventral thecal sac. No spinal canal or neural foramen narrowing at any level. No hyperintensity on STIR images.

IMPRESSION:

1. Mild degenerative changes with a small disc protrusion at T2-3 mildly effacing the thecal sac.

and for the cervical:
FINDINGS:
There is straightening of the normal cervical lordosis.
The C4-5 intervertebral disc space demonstrates mild right foraminal stenosis.

soo, I am guessing my disc in t2-3 is bruised? any help is appreciated!
