Sounds like a (1) bulging disc, or (2) herniated disc. The disk is a hard rubbery "shock absorber" located between each veterbrae. They have a tendency to bulge --like mashing a marshmellow--as we get older and the stretching of the nerve fibers within the disc can cause chronic pain. A herniation is where the disk bulges out in such a way that the part "bulging" puts pressure on a nerve root exiting between each vertebrae. This causes terrible pain to radiate down the arm, and if chronic can cause weakness (and waisting) in certain muscles in the arm on the affected side.

What is a disc protrusion with osteophytes?
A disc protrusion with osteophytes refers to a condition in the spine where there is a bulging or herniation of an intervertebral disc along with the formation of bony outgrowths called osteophytes. The disc protrusion occurs when the gel-like center of the disc pushes out through a tear in the outer layer, potentially causing compression of nearby nerves or the spinal cord. Osteophytes are bony spurs that form in response to degeneration or injury, often seen in conditions like osteoarthritis. This combination of disc protrusion and osteophytes can contribute to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area.

What is a left eccentric disc bulge at c6 c7?
With degenerative disc disease, disc bulging occurs with flattening out of the disc and subsequent spreading out. Typical bulging presents symmetrical, but sometimes a protrusion will develop that is eccentric, ie., asymmetrical bulging. An eccentric protrusion will be to one side, in this case left, sometimes causing neurologic symptoms on that side, sometimes not. A protrusion is less than 3 mm, whereas a herniation exceeds 3 mm.
