Back and neck pain
My MRI report says 1. Mild canal stenosis at C3 to C6 Level 2. Minimal diffuse bulge of C6 - C7 disc with right paracentral and lateral protrusion causing compression of right C7 Root and indenting cord. Can you please explain to me wat this is and can this be cured by medicines or does this really requires a surgery. If yes can it b postponed.

Well, it depends upon the symptoms. If you are having only neck pain without any weakness in hand or no shooting pain in the arm and shoulder, this can be managed with Medicines and Physical therapy.
