    I'm sorry to learn this.  But your doctors are the best people to advise, not an online forum.

     

    As a doctor I cannot comment as you give no details, but in answer to your straight question:

    would cervical myelopathy and spinal stenosis be of a cause of imbalance and gait distubance?

    it could be....but it depends on where it was (which vertebrae).  I would be inclined to wait.

     

    Good luck
