question: I had a posterior cervical fusion C2-T3 for myelomalacia and myelopathy. Since then my balance is off, I cannot turn my head right or left without turning my entire body, I have stiffness thru my entire body as if I were wooden. My ortho doctor said you are fine, your neck is 100% I know I am not fine. I cannot get up if I get down. I also have periphreal neuropathy which the neurologist said is mild but is aggravated by the myelopathy. Is the number of levels that I had fused the problem and if so will I get progressively worse. I am 55 and had the surgery at age 52.
