yes, is a disc protrusion on the T5-T6 abuts the anterior margin of the spinal cord ---is this serious.  I have been very sick and felt like I had pain radiating from my back to my front.  Tingling and numbness though-out my body including my face. Thought I had cancer and my MRI states the above and I am awaiting to see a doctor Monday.
Hi, it appears that you have seen your doctor by now. The generalized pain indicates some general infection, so I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.  I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotrophic injections for 10 consecutive days, along with the treatment for the result.  Thank you.
