Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

There is degeneration of cervical spine disc between C 6 and C 7. This is resulting in the disc herniating between the bones. The nerve roots pass through these neural foramina and you might have severe nerve root compression at that level more on left side. The nerve pain may be controlled with restricted physical activity and pain relief medication. Please do not do heavy physical activity till you are comfortable. As it is mentioned as mild I do not think you need any surgery.
