Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The difficulty in walking or feeling the feet is not related to the surgery of cervical spine that you had recently. It is likely to be due to a nerve compression at the level of lumbar spine.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
