Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

I’m so happy to have found this group. I recently had cervical spine surgery and was told that my hand numbness and tingling would perhaps go away. I also have numbness in my feet. I’ve been to a neurologist but have yet to be officially diagnosed but the more I read the surer I am of my suspicions. I also read that there are treatments that can help if done as soon as possible. I do not have diabetes but have had lower back pain and cortisone injections for years. I know I should probably not jump to conclusions but would like to be proactive in my solutions. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you for being here; I feel better just knowing that I’m not alone. Yours, Kathy

Welcome Kathy @kathylal, I'm glad to see that you are learning as much as you can about your condition and being your own best advocate for your health. There are many different neuropathy discussions you might find helpful and they are easy to find using the Connect search function.

Since you have had spine surgery I thought you might be interested in this discussion started by @jenniferhunter on Myofacial Release Therapy (MFR) - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/.
I agree with you about not jumping to conclusions which is also something I tend to do sometimes. Did your neurologist do any tests to confirm neuropathy?
