Hi,
Your MRI cervical spine is showing disc bulges in C5-C6 and C6-C7 disc levels and means that the discs in your cervical spine are causing mild pressure effect on the nerves which are leaving the spinal cord and passing through foramen at the level of discs. They can cause pain in the neck shoulder and hands.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vivek Chail, Radiologist
