Default Made My decision - Nerve decompression

Hopefully I can get this nerve pain done with minimally invasive forminotomy.
My surgeon is going in the front. Is that the preferred way? There is another neuro who will go in posteriorly. I have another 1 inch long spur at c7 He doesn't think it needs removing. I sometimes feel it. He saqys it will make post surgery swallowing problematic. Any thoughts, friends? I also hope that my arthritic neck can last another 5 or 10 years after this for ADR. I hope his bone whittleing doesn't preclude ADR later.

Happy Healing to us all!
Mike
