I would be very concerned about the C5-6 where the disc abuts and DEFORMS the front of the spinal cord. This is nothing to sneeze at.
i would probably want to take these films and get an OPINION from a Neurosurgeon (NOT a Neurologist) and see what he says. If he even MENTIONS surgery, get 2 more opinions.
Never take one doctors opinion, when it comes to surgery. Always get at least 3 opinions. And remember that surgery is for mechanical problems, not pain. Usually after surgery, you're left with the same pain or worse.
So get some opinions, and see what they say. God bless and please take care. Also, let us know what they say too, okay? Hugs, Lee
