Suggest Treatment For Cervical Spinal Stenosis

I have been diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis and will be operated on in about a month. My biggest concern is that my major symptoms are sever itching of both of my arms, especially at night. I know that numbness and pain in the arms is a common symptom of cervical spinal stenosis, but what about my symptom? I am hoping that the surgery will alleviate this extremely uncomfortable symptom. I appreciate your response.

Hi, itching is not a usual symptom of Cervical Canal Stenosis, it will be better that you discuss this issue with your operating surgeon, as itching could be because of any other reason. Thank you.
