Question
just wanted to know what this means......
C6-7 there is a small posterior protrusion and in additon, i am suspicious of a small right foraminal protrusion involving the disc encroaching upon the inferior recess of the exit formamen.

Can you please explain this for me.
thanks  

Answer
David,
I am a lawyer, not a doctor. From what I know, The small posterior protrusion is probably asymptomatic;Your doctor is "suspicious"( unable to confirm) of a second protrusion that , if it is present, is of concern and probably causing your symptoms. Of course ask your doctor about the x ray findings. He is the logical person to advise you, not an attorney!
