Keep us posted on your decompression experience. Compressed nerves can, of course, cause peripheral neuropathies but the typical idiopathic PN follows more predictable patterns than any neuropathy that might be the result of bulging or herniated discs in the extremities. I am trying to sort out the same situation, as I have multiple bulging discs from my cervical spine down to and including the lumbar spine. I suspect, however, that my PN has the more typical etiology which, at base, is mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to endothelial dysfunction, neuronal/axonal dysfunction, for which treatment remains elusive.
