Clarification: Cervical/lumbar or thoracic i am assuming you are talking about cervical. The canal diameter that you mention should be addressed depending on your symptoms. The surgery is mainly to take pressure of the spinal cord.

Abnormal MRI?: Mri results mean absolutely nothing in the absence of symptoms. You can have every finding you've described with zero symptoms. So with the info provided, your problem? Too many birthday cakes! typical MRI for age.
