Hi Deemzee,
I think if you feel good, you should wait. I know in my case, I have episodes that resolve with rest so the idea that it can only get worse is not quite accurate. Even if you become symptomatic, it can improve. It is not always, as many say, that if it gets worse, it will stay that way. Now if you have an accident, there is a greater chance of injury but there is also risk with surgery. The main thing is to avoid heavy lifting and excessive exercise with the arms. I have been exploring the idea of disc replacement for four years. Four years ago, I had spastic gait which I do not have now. I've had episodes of arm pain and tremors but if I take it easy, they go away. I would like to exercise more and swim with more than just my legs so I think it is time for me to get this fixed.
