What Does My MRI Scan Report Indicate?
My mri showed a disc protrusion, greater on the L, on T6 and a possible nerve root impingement on T7. I have worked as a hairstylist and have had to stoop, hold my arms away from body and bend. When I raise my L arm upward, or hold arm away from my body (as in cutting hair), I have worse pain (feels like a hook) under my shoulder blade (scapula). I believe the issue shown on my mri with T6&T7 causes this? Is this probable?

Yes after reading your report i can say that this disc protrusion at T6 and T7 might be the reason of pain in your left arm.
