I also have cervical stenosis and myofascial pain when weather is bad. Stenosis can cause balance problems. My question is would operation on neck make things any better or are problems brain mediated. There is woman on here who had her neuropathy improve with neck surgery.

Hi, Lewin
A year ago I was referred to a neurosurgeon for an opinion on whether surgery might help my balance. After pouring over my cervical and thoracic MRIs, he thought no, surgery was not called for. He went so far as to say if I were to insist and he were to operate, I might find that my balance had not improved one iota. He suggested a one-year follow-up, which just happens to be later this month.
