Go back and talk to your doctor about your work. There are significant risks involved when there is cord impingement. Future mobility being one of them.
I have had two fusions and an artificial disc at the three levels effected and although my neck is far from perfect it is so much better than it was. You will get immediate relief from surgery. I was surprised at just how sick I had been.
So good luck and let us know how you are getting on.

I would be straight with my employer and let them kow that I have his problem and heavy lifting is out of the question for now. Maybe they can put you on light duties??
Also since you asked I think you should be very careful with your neck until you get the treatment you need, for your own well being.
