Cervical disc injury: The disc has a bulge and superimposed protrusion. Discs are somewhat like a tire. If you see a bulge on the side of a tire that is still holding air, that is a protrusion or herniation. That disc is likely causing you neck pain, possibly arm pain/weakness/tingling/numbness and possibly headaches. The central narrowing is not necessarily significant yet. This is a significant injury.

Without neurological: symptoms it means that there is some degenerative disease @ that level. @ 57 it is not an unusual finding@ the C-4, C-5 level. That is the most movable segment & will often show disease . If there was no injury & only neck pain it should B treated as 1 would treat arthritis . NSAIDS, activity modification .
