A member asked:
I need help understanding my mri. c7-t1: 3 mm posterior central disc protrusion contacts the ventral spinal cord without significant deformity.

Disc bulge : This means you have a bulging disc that is protruding enough to contact you spinal cord but not enough to deform the spinal cord. These findings do not really explain your leg pain with walking.

Just an IMAGE: Yes, it's not normal; could it cause symptoms? Yes. HOWEVER: MRI is just an image used to confirm a specific CLINICAL diagnosis. You must NOT treat the image; you should treat a clinical condition.
