Dessicated Disc at C5-6
(2 discussions)
I am a 17 year old who has been having problems with my neck for about 1 month.
I have been going to physical therapy, but it hasn’t helped, so my Dr. had an MRI done.
I just got the results and not sure what they mean.
Impression is: Dessicated disc at C5-6.
Minimal generalized disc bulge at this level.
What is this and what can be done about it? How does this happen to a 17 year old.
