I have severe compression of the cord from C5/6 and moderate with C4/5. I have unsteady gait and am very clumsy, and fall occasionally. I also have compression, spurs, etc. from L3/4 to L5/S1. We discussed a number of my problems but did not get extremely specific regarding which disc affected which areas. Sorry, I wish I could help more.
My soon to be surgeon is quite worried about the problems that the cervical levels are causing. I do not have the symptoms you are describing though, with pain behind the knees, etc.
