LC, I've had several clients with serious gait problems related to cervical cord compression. Some are due to strentgh losses (like the foot drop you describe.) Some are due to spasticity. These issues are serious and may lead to a decision for surgery sooner, rather than later... even without a lot of pain.

It sounds like you are getting a good work-up. Please keep us posted,

Mark
