If i have a bulging C5/6 cervical disc in my neck would it be putting pressure on my nerves.?

My MRI results reads.
There is a annular bulging of the C5/6 with a right paracentral protrusion which indents the thecal sac and anterior aspect of the cord.
Also would this explain all the pain in wrist, forearm, and elbow and the numbness in my fingers.
I occasionally get a burning sensation in my shoulder.
All of this is mostly on my right side, i do get a bit of pain and numbness in my left but nothing like the right.
I was originally diagnosed with rsi both wrist, then fibromalgia and now finally after 6 months they have done scans.
Can someone please help?
Answer:
The protusion of the bulging disk is putting pressure on your spinal cord and if your elbow, forearm and fingers are experiencing numbness, it would be the lateral side of your arm that is numb (thumb side) which corresponds to the c6 nerve. Your doctors will be able to take care of this
Any spinal pressure, especially in the cervical region, will result in headaches.
It is curious that you have had symptoms for 6 months without an MRI until recently--particularly that they diagnosed you with fibromyalgia without scans.
Best of luck
