I Just Got My Mri Report It Says That The

I just got my mri report it says that the impression is : a small right disk protrusion at t7-8 indenting the thecal sac and touching the ventral surface of the cord, I also have osteophytes noted diffusely between t4 thru t11 and a cystic desiccation at all levels between t2 thru t11, what does all this mean, is it serious? does it require surgery to correct? I am a 55 year old female.

thank you,

Donna
