I think I would at LEAST take the films to a Neurosurgeon for his OPINION just to make sure. And I would ASK him about the moderate stenosis, and DEFINITELY ask him about the flattening of the spinal cord at C5-6 -- tell him about your symptoms and pain. Make SURE he's aware of everything, and don't let him intimidate you! He puts his pants on the same way you do, so he's no BETTER than you are!!!

You just need to know that everything is alright. But you also need to know if it's going to STAY alright, and if it's not, about how long can you anticipate before you start having WORSE problems than you're having now?

So go see a Neurosurgeon, okay? Best of luck, and let us know what he says, will you? God bless! Hugs, Lee
