Extrusion on spine at C-6...MRI report

My neurologist called yesterday and said I have an extrusion at the C-6 and he is working on a referral to a neurosurgeon.

Here is part of the MRI report
C3-C4 miled left posterior spondylosis no narrowing or stenosis.
C4-C5 mild spondylosis. No neuroforaminal narrowing.

C5-C6 Moderate spondylosis. Medium central focal extrusion indents the ventral cord causing moderate spinal stenosis. No change in cord signal. No neuroforaminal narrowing.

C6-C7 Large (5mm in height)( right subarticular/paramedian focal extrustion with annular tear. The extrusion indents the right ventral cord causing marked spinal stenosis.
No change in cord signal. No neurofaraminal narrowing.

And I have a picture of the big one in my profile.

Who has had the surgery for correction and what were your results? I'm scared and worried.  I feel like crap all the time now.
