What is 5 mm disc prtrusion at c4-5?

Answer 1

That's a description of a deterioration of part of the spine in your neck. The correct

place to get more detailed information, with some authority behind it, is from the

Doctor Who ordered the scan, or the radiologist who evaluated it, or whoever else

told you that you have the protrusion.

Personally, I've had five scans of that section of my own personal neck, and two

surgical operations, 12 years apart, to fix things in that neighborhood. And from

my own personal experience, I can tell you three more things:

#1). If you do have surgery to correct it, then for about a week after that, you'll

wish you hadn't.

#2). Starting about the second week, you'll be living a new life. That strange

new feeling you notice will be the absence of pain that you didn't even know

you had before.

#3). The internet is no place to be looking for information. Explaining it to you

is just as much the doctor's job as fixing it is.
