Cervical stenosis: Wait or treat?

Hi, Jennifer. With each of your letters, I learn more. Your telling me about your C5/C6 slippage seems related to my surgeon's saying my vertebrae appear stable and therefore advising we not consider surgery at this time. I suspect he didn't see any slippage. I intend to ask. I know he's a busy fellow, but his nurse/assistant has always been very quick with answers to my questions. ––Ray

May I jump in here with Jennifer and Ray as I have the same Cervical Stenosis with C4-7, with the possibility of Myelopathy in play. Do either of you experience extreme burning in your hands and arms upon lying down to sleep? When I am upright, I am fine... my neurologist believes it is from Carpel Tunnel! I do not, and I have never heard the term “slippage” used in any of my diagnosis. Thanks for your info!
