It is impossible for me to tell you if surgery, and what surgical procedure would benefit you without examining you, and reviewing the films. Depending on your examination and MRI you may require a EMG (muscle and nerve test) to determine which nerves are affected. You can make an appointment by calling 1-800-CCF-CARE and ask for the spine center appointment line. Good luck.
don't wish to tread on anyones toes here, but, are you aware of 'pelvic correction ' or ' bowen technique ' both are non invasive and gentle therapies.
being in scotland, i've no benefit to gain from posting this information, but, as a long time sufferer of spondylosis, sciatica and arthritis and a recipient of an artificial hip, i wish i'd known of those therapies earlier in my painful life.
best wishes, whatever you do

I too suffer from cervical spondylosis, cervical disk desease, degenertive disk desease,osteo arthritis and chronic pain.
The cervical spine is totaly dehydrated, with cervical plug plate and screws at c5-c6. bulging disc at c6-c7, c3-c4, c4-c5, c7-t1 and chronic neck pain, also in shoulders arms elbows and back.
pain in lower back and reight hip and leg with chronic muscle spasms. This has been going on almost five years now.
I was told that at this stage there is nothing that can be done other the medications and excerise and to just deal with it the best I can and still go to work everyday. So good luck with yours.
