Smirk Can someone explain my MRI please?

Please help translate my MRI. I have horrible lower back and leg pain, with tingling, numbness, and pain in both feet, left trapezius muscle, and left side of face.

FINDINGS:
Disc spaces: Mild disc desiccation in the thoracic spine.
Scattered Schmorl's nodes
Soft Tissue: Moderate sized esophageal hiatal hernia

Axial Images: T4-5 central and left paracentral disc protrusion effaces the ventral thecal sac and flattens the cord ventrally at this level.

T6-7 tiny right paracentral and central disc protrusion minimally effaces the ventral thecal sac.

IMPRESSION: Disc herniations as outlined above. Esophageal hiatal hernia.

Any insight as to what the MRI findings mean will help out tremendously. I have an appointment a month from now, but I'd like to know what it means to help my anxiety over the issue.
