A member asked:
Can mild to moderate cervical spinal stenosis cause my muscles to ache anywhere in my back from time to time?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Muscle aches in any part of the back are not related to moderate cervical stenosis. Start with your PCP to find out why you have muscle aches from time to time. May need to have labs, imaging and possible specialist referral based on these things.

Yes: Yes, by potentially causing spasms in the paraspinal muscles; can cause headaches as well. Consider being seen as there are many good treatment options.
