Overdoing it seems to flare up quite few things. I think that if movement contributes to your narrowing you will definitely have to be mindful of what and how you are doing things. I have compression and bone spurs at c4, c5 and if I do certain things it will really get aggravated but I have found over time what things to avoid to minimize symptoms. Dropping a couple of activities that aggravated the situation made a huge difference for me but sometimes surgery is necessary to protect the nerve. And sometimes MRI doesn't show quite everything going on in there. Listen to your body and symptoms and take care of yourself. You will know what you need to do.

I hope you find relief and healing soon,
