The MRI findings of degenerative disc disease C5 C6 is undertandable. You have not mentioned the age of your daughter. However pain and numbness in hand and lower limbs must be investicagted by a neurologist. This could be the result of injury itself or any other pathology like infection.
Please take her to yout nearest hospital aand get her examined by your neurologist at earliest. Please take along MRI scan and report, it will be helpful on advisingthe further treatment.
