Resubmitted / more details / sorry, I forgot some important details. I understand that only stage two & stage three disc bulge herniation qualify as operable, or even a note worthy concern for surgeons, But; The head or radiology stated that I have a cervical disc minimally effacing the Thecal sac ( causing an indentation in the MR imaging / and is listed in reading results). This is causing a noticeable indentation on the images, but it does not contact the actual spinal cord.The doctors of orthopedics all say disc touch the spinal column and no problem, despite my chronic symptoms (7months). I am concerned that the orthopedic doctors all have a emotional fit when asked about the MRI / radiologist findings. He personally spoke with me and said this is a note worthy concern. This indentation comes about to the middle of the white area normally between the spine an spinal cord; Is this a by the a stage one herniation (outside normal disc area). I have symptoms of chronic pain, burning sensations & shooting pains in my arm and legs at times . Sorry I submitted an incomplete listing on previous submission.
