What Does This MRI Of Spine Indicate?

I am a patient with severe neck pain, shoulder pain and tingling in both my arms. On July 11, 2014 I had an MRI done and it reads, as follows: C6-7 small paracentral disc herniation impressing mildly upon my spinal cord which is new when compared with prior study from 2009 . Because of the pain I am in should I be worried that its impressing on my spinal cord?

Well come to HCM
The report of MRI could be suggestive of disk degenerative disease and this need to be treated accordingly some time cervical traction gives good result in my opinion better to consult orthopedic surgeon else analgesic would be the option, have a nice day.
