hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As per the history I feel it is more of a lumbar soine nerve issues and not the head and neck. Since you been operated again and again I suspect this to be related to the disc pathology which has led the problem. I totally feel there is nothing wrong with cervical spine and head.
Kindly have a nerve conduction study and electro myogram. I am sure with the help of physical therapy your motor functions should return back.
Regards.
