Default Spinal cord crushed by vertabrae

Arthritis in the cervical vertebrae has caused the canal to swell shut, so that an MRI in that area shows no opening at all. Does anyone here have this problem? I have no feeling in the tips of my fingers or thumbs. My hands, shoulders, arms, and upper back are in pain, and sometimes shooting pains from when I do something ( like lift something) is awful.

Surgical solutions are iffy/scary. No meds help. Phys therapy only worsens--why was this prescribed????????

Any experience?
