Know anything re: flattening of cervical spinal cord from bone spurs?

Some of the symptoms are shock like pains and weaknesses in the arms. There is lower lumbar pain as I have degeneration there also. My walking is slower due to pain; and also have a hard time standing for more than 15 minutes. Could these symptoms all be related to my cervical spine?

@dmp19651989 Yes. I had similar pains from cervical stenosis with cord compression. Cervical stenosis can cause pain anywhere in your body below the level of compression. I had a pronounced limp or uneven gait when walking and that kind of went back and forth for a bit depending on if muscle spasms were pulling the vertebrae out of alignment. When my physical therapist put things back in place, I walked better until the next spasm. Spine surgery fixed all of that. I don't have pain now.
