A member asked:
A left paracentral disc extrusion at t7-t8 mildly indents the left ventral this is one of the things from my most recent mri i was just curious what it all means and what is the best treatment?

You may be symptomatically experiencing pain and stiffness secondary to this disc, but unless the spinal cord is compressed, surgery is not an option. Over time the disc may desiccate and shrink if no further trauma ensues Physical therapy is your best choice, and some stretching and careful exercises will eventually pay off.
