It means you have a slipped disc, or disc herniation. The fluid-filled portion of your disc has ruptured and some of the material is now impinging on your spinal cord.

para central and lateral disc herniation are the sticking out of cartilages between cervical vertebrae. cervical vertebrae is slightly bulged in these cases. more care should be given if there is injured. An annular tear is the break in the annular fibrous which is a hole or rip in the outer disc wall
