@dunkinmacdougall Welcome to Connect. I am a cervical spine surgery patient. I did not have foraminal stenosis, but had central canal stenosis and had surgery at Mayo with great results. Spine surgeons do clean out bone spurs and extruded disc material from the foramen to free the nerve roots. If your surgeon isn't helping you, you'll need another opinion somewhere else. Sometime steroid spine injections can help temporarily by relieving some inflammation. Yes, foraminal stenosis can be treated surgically. Make sure to find a good surgeon.
