<s>[INST] yes, is a disc protrusion on the T5-T6 abuts the anterior margin of the spinal cord ---is this serious.  I have been very sick and felt like I had pain radiating from my back to my front.  Tingling and numbness though-out my body including my face. Thought I had cancer and my MRI states the above and I am awaiting to see a doctor Monday. [/INST] Hi, it appears that you have seen your doctor by now. the generalised pain indicates some general infection, so i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.                         I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, along with the treatment for the result.                        Thank you. </s>
