Does cervical spinal stenosis due mostly to herniated discs progress or do the discs stabilize at some point? thanks for all the help?

Some progess, some don’t. Hope you are one of the donts,? Time will tell.

If you experience neck trauma such as a motor vehicle accident, the size of the herniation might increase. However, there is European data to indicate, in many cases, that over 9-10 months, a herniated disc might dry out (desiccate) and shrink. Would advise conservative therapy such as P.T. if symptoms are not progressing.
