A member asked:

What to do if i broke my neck and letley i have been having difficulty walking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to see a spinal: Surgeon, as to be evaluated properly. You could have the walking problems associated with it or is due to some other reason. Ct/mri scans would be needed, before a DX can be reached. Good luck.
