Yes, Mike, me also regarding walking. And I have neuropathy also still. I am curious if you have worked with PT for your balance? If not, I would certainly try that first. My balance was off after surgery but I also had both hips replaced and had weaknesses from all the surgeries.
Sending you healing prayers for the future and whatever you decide

Yes, legeke, I did PT before and after the laminectomy. Then, a couple of months after the cervical fusion in May 2023, I did more PT. They were aware of my balance issues and worked on strengthening core as well. I plan to ask my PCP for a referral for MORE PT when I see him in a couple of weeks. Perhaps with a different therapist. Take care! Mike
