General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
The impression of your MRI report says that your backbones' cushion between the 3 and 4 backbones has been compromised and is kind of soggy and running to nearby spaces which are very crucial for your spinal cord and nerves. The reason could range from bad posture to injury. Since you didn't mention any injuries, I think it's because of bad posture or work style. The positive side of this is that a little care and rest to maintain your normal neck position will suffice, unless you're having any tingling in the neck. All other stuff mentioned is the result of the bad backbone cushion( intervertebral disc).
Hope this helps.
