[|AI|]  Mr. Rough. First...stop worrying. There IS a solution for your problem.  The MRI findings that you have described are not very serious. U seem to have cervical degenerative disc disease(DDD) with a disc herniation at C5-6. The DDD will cause you neck pain which can be usually managed by neck exercises and proper posture of your neck especially while sleeping. This pain may take some time to come down. The disc herniation can cause pain in your upper limb. Usually the pain will be radiating from neck to shoulder then to arm, forearm and then fingers, in your case (C6 root) the thumb and index finger. If you have this typical pain, then your C6 root may compress. If you have pain just in your hand without any numbness, then it is unlikely. For a compressed root...you can try with a cervical collar and the same Chat Doctor.  If pain is not coming down or increasing then you may have to see a spine surgeon who may advise you to undergo a discectomy.
