What does it mean when you have the fluid of a disc effacing agains the spinal cord?

It means that one of the disks that separate your vertebrae and provide shock absorbtion has burst or bulged, and the jelly-like fluid within it has leaked out and begun to irritate a nerve. It also means that you're in alot of pain and need to avoid heavy lifting.
