what does this mean?
 

I was just wondering what this "The C6/7 disc shows a small central posterior disc protrusion" meant? Does it mean I have a small disc herniation in that area?

It does mean that you have a small herniation there. :(

Thank you very much,I thought so but just wanted confirmation

Location
 

Sorry about this question but..I am icing my neck for C6/7,the location I mentioned above. Where exactly would I ice it? I don't know if its left,right or in the back somewhere. I know its just below C5/6,but which side, I am not sure from what its said on my MRI from above mentioned.

Just ice the whole neck. Put the ice in the middle and make sure it's a good size "bag" or gel pack. Leave it on for 20 minutes and do this every 2 hours. You don't want to leave it on too long.

At first the ice hurts, but then it will feel very very good! So leave it on -- you'll find that it will help. It reduces the inflammation and swelling plus the pain. Do NOT use heat, cause that increases inflammation & swelling. Plus it really HURTS more. :eek: Keep us posted, ok? Hugs, Lee :)

Thank you very much for your help. I had surgery on my C5/6 last Sept.29 with cadaver bone and hardware. I still need to preserve the small one at C6/7 the best I can,so it won't progress faster than necessary.

You're gonna want to watch out for C3-4!!! That's the one that might go sour on you. Since you had C5-6 done, the C3-4 MIGHT start to "sink" down because there's not as much holding it up now, because of the surgery. It happens alot, but it might NOT happen, so don't figure it WILL.

Just be careful, and follow you're doctors restrictions. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

Yes,I will be careful with it...Thank you so much once again!
