Default What do my Spine MRI results mean?

I have severe neck pain for the last 3 weeks and it radiates down to my right arm and right shoulder. My doctor sent me for a mri of the spine and these are my results.

The cervical cord is not enlarged and shows no evidence of signal abnormality.
There is a right C3-4 disc herniation resulting in encroachment on the subarachnoid space and right-sided foraminal narrowing.
There is a right C4-5 herniated disc causing encroachment upon the subarchnoid space and marked right-sided foraminal narrowing.
At the C5-6 level, there is a small left sided disc herniation causing mild encroachment upon the subarchnoid space foraminal compatible with asymmetric bulge/lateral herniation.
There is no evicendce of cord adema or neoplasm.
IMPRESSION:
1)right sided herniation discs at C3-4 and C4-5 which also result in foraminal narrowing.
2) small left herniation at C5-6
3) buldging of the C6-7 disc slightly asymmetric to the right resulting in right sided foraminal narrowing.

Is this really bad?
