Yes, I've had problems since my injury. It is better now than it was but I still have a tendency to veer if I get off center but I can usually catch it and correct. For a while I was worried I was going to fall and reinjure myself, I don't worry about that so much anymore but I do move cautiously. I'm much clumsier as well.

My balance gets worse in stores, restaurants and even 2 weeks ago one of my doctor noticed. My friends comment sometimes I walk like a very old man. I say that is not true since I have seen many old folks walk/exercise perfect than me. For me any neck movement, looking down especially makes my balance worse.

I had balance issues for about the first 6 months. Since then not a problem.
