KL, I have discussed cramping with Dr. Baumbach many times. He says that cramping and be relatively innocuous... something we all experience... but he also says that cramping (like what you describe) can be a form of spasticity... can be myelopathy.

I'm sorry that you are needing surgery, but am glad that you will be moving forward in resolving your problems. I recently saw a client of mine who had a 5-level french-door cervical lami at cedars a couple of years ago. Big smile on his face!

Good luck... please keep us posted.

All the best,

Mark
