Yes there is a def concern at minal at least to be watched --- OK --little back ground. I had acdf (fusion surgery) c4-c7 in 2010 --and have no regrets. I would highly rec u seek 2 or consults with neuro or ortho spine surgeon . Im sorry whats are you symptoms again---I read post quickly do you have any tingling in fingers trouble with shoulder? Are your symptoms on the left side? You def have stenosis which is narrowing of your spinal canal it happens with age but yours is quiet narrow. As always you should seek out 6-8 weeks of conservative treament before considering surgery. Have you tried esi (espidural steroid in injections)?
