Wait: If your upper extremity pain or numbness is better, I recommend to wait and watch. But be aware that cord compression and potential myelopathy is a very slow, painless process. The symptoms of myelopathy include clumpsiness of hands, loss of dexterity, balance or gait change. You can get yearly MRIs for nowAs to surgery, you may be candidate for minimally invasive surgery without instrumentation.
