Hello, i am new to this forum i was just wondering if these symptoms can be caused by a herniated disc bulging disc tingling all over body, pain all over body, twitching all over body and minor jerking when i am sleeping. Mri report of cervical spine 

The visualized portions of the cerebellum are normal in signal. The 

cervical spinal cord is unremarkable. There is no myelomalacia, 

gliosis or cystic change. 

The cervical curvature is within normal limits. There are no 

compression deformities or focal bone marrow lesion. 

At C1-C2, the predental space is normal. The dens is intact. 

At C2-C3, and C7-T1, the discs exhibit normal height and signal 

intensity. There is no central canal or foraminal encroachment.

At C3-C4, there is a circumferential disc bulge which indents the 

thecal sac and partially effaces the anterior subarachnoid space. 

There is no foraminal narrowing. The facet joints are unremarkable. 

At C4-C5, there is a focal posterior central disc protrusion with 

subjacent annular tear indenting the thecal sac and partially 

effacing the anterior subarachnoid space. There is no foraminal 

narrowing. The facet joints are unremarkable. 

At C5-C6, there is a focal posterior central disc protrusion with 

subjacent annular tear indenting the thecal sac and partially 

effacing the anterior subarachnoid space. There is no foraminal 

narrowing. The facet joints are unremarkable. 

At C6-C7, there is a disc bulge which partially effaces the anterior 

subarachnoid space. There is a superimposed disc ridge complex at the 

right uncovertebral joint producing mild right foraminal 

encroachment. The facet joints are unremarkable. 

The prevertebral soft tissues are normal. The retrospinous tissues 

are intact. 

IMPRESSION: 

1. At C3-C4 a circumferential disc bulge partially effaces the 

anterior subarachnoid space. 

2. At C4-C5 and C5-C6, focal posterior central disc herniations with 

subjacent annular tears indent the thecal sac and partially effaces 

the anterior subarachnoid space. 

3. At C6-C7, a disc bulge partially effaces the anterior subarachnoid 

space. A disc ridge complex at the right uncovertebral joint produces 

mild right foraminal encroachment. 

Thank you

    It's stating there's no spinal compression and yr discs havnt lost height, but the bulge and tears could be. A factor in yr symptoms. Unless it's greatly affecting yr quality of life and yr on quite a few med air it's stoping u from mobilising they may not do much in the way of surgery. They may offer other alternative s.
