Question Spastic Paraparesis

Has anyone else been given this diagnosis with a suspected cervical cord compression?
Am going through a series of MRI scans under the care of a neurologist, today I'll have a head scan , further cervical scan and a thoracic scan with a follow-up consultation on Wednesday.
My walking is still a lot different to my normal, slower and awkward, feels like my hips are fixed, and my feet feel like they're "plonking down".
May need a lumbar puncture to rule out other things but just hope this won't turn out to be "inconclusive" and that I'll be left like this - but mustn't get negative!?
Any input on walking problems whether diagnosed as SP or not would be interesting.
