[justin1926]

I have aT5-T6 2 mm ap broad based posterior disc protrusion mildly effaces ventral thecal sac, without spinal canal stenosis or cord compression. Patent neural foramina

T8-T9 2.5 mm AP right paracentral disc  results in mild focal effacement of the ventral aspect of the thecal sac. minimal deformity of the right ventral aspect t of the spinal cord without overt cord compression or underlying cord signal abnormally . Patent neural  foramina .

T9-T10 3.5 AP right paracentral disc, containing a large annular fissure is present at this level, resulting in mild contour deformity/effacement of the right ventral aspect of the spinal cord. There is underlying cord signal abnormality. No significant foraminal stenosis at this level.

Hi!
Yes, disc protrusions can cause pain even if there is no compression on the spinal cord or spinal nerves. This is called radiculopathy and is often detected on EMG/NCV.
Usually for symptoms caused by disc prolapse, conservative treatments like hot and cold compress, stretching exercises, back low impact exercises, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, specially designed corsets, spinal manipulation and traction and epidural injections are tried. If everything fails then laminectomy and other spine surgeries may be contemplated. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
