[|Human|] I have been suffering from neck pain and it has gotten severe in the last one month, got an MRI done and :C5-6 disc shows mild posterocentral protrusion indenting the thecal sac, can you please advice on the possible cure to this, to get the disc back in its original position. Also how long will be the process and precautions if any that i should take.
[|AI|]  Hello, I think that cause of your neck pain is the cervical herniated disk C5-C6 compressing the medulla. Once the disc is herniated from its original place it does not come back where it was. Since the pain has got worse last month, I would suggest you to consider surgery to remove the herniated disc as it may continue to compress the nerves and cause paralysis. Physical therapy does not help on this situation. Your neurosurgeon will give you the pros and cons of the surgery and decide together. Wish you quick improvement.
