Hello,
Your new symptoms most likely indicate a progression of the myelopathy.
In such a scenario, you should not wait for the scheduled surgery, you should contact your Neurosurgeon ASAP.
In my opinion, you should be hospitalized.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
