@sallygirl Sarah, I saw your recent post and I wanted to respond here so you can meet members discussing similar situations with cervical stenosis in this discussion. I think @hodinator may be able to share his experience. I do know that a posterior surgical approach is more painful than anterior from what my surgeon said, but I have not experienced that myself. It sounds like a big surgery and long recovery.

Posterior is only approach surgeon can do. He had x-rays, ct's, mri's done specifically to view approach. I had 2 surgeries in front, spinal fusion in 2006, and thyroid removal and lymph nodes due to cancer in 2009. Surgeon said there is just too much scar tissue to safely do frontal approach.
