@nikkilee Welcome to Connect. I don't think a surgeon would operate on both cervical and lumbar at the same time. You need to be able to function during recovery and that would be extremely difficult. You know what symptoms you have when moving your neck. You may want to call your insurance company to see what you need to do to get a referral for your cervical spine. Mayo would want to see all your imaging for review. They should be evaluating your entire spine and developing a plan. Your neck can cause pain anywhere in your body. I had that situation with spinal cord compression in my neck, and I had surgery at Mayo.
