Thank you for the reply. I have to admit that I actually went to the chiropractor a week before I had the MRI, I am getting somewhat desperate and decided I should try it. I have had good positive outcomes from prior chiropractic care. After my doc read me the report, I almost fainted thinking about that visit... and thanking my lucky stars that I was still walking.

I won't have surgery to reduce my pain level. The only way I will consider surgery is if I start losing function. I will definately try getting a referral to physical therapy..sounds like a good starting spot.

In your opinion, being told I had moderate cervical stenosis, is there anything that I should NOT be doing? I stay pretty active.. hauling laundry and kids up and down stairs, push mowing grass, hiking...etc. I'm not so much worried about causing myself pain, I've lived with it so long I would feel weird if all my pain suddenly went away... I'm more concerned with how much damage can this condition do??
Thanks again!
Sarah
