Anyone with foot parasthesia? Not exactly neuropathy but similar.

In addition to seeing a neurologist for EMG and nerve testing, you may also want to see a orthopedic spine specialist to get an MRI of your lumbar spine to check spinal cord and nerve roots that affect your hips/legs/feet. I had cervical and lumbar surgeries (lumbar just 8/2/2024). My lumbar spine problems included spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and neurogenic claudication which caused pain/numbness/weakness in my lower back, hips, buttocks, legs and feet.
Sometimes surgery on hips can cause changes in spine and knee alignment and cause new issues. Have you had your issues with your foot right after surgery or did it develop later? Have you had any ultrasound or vascular assessments of blood vessels from hips to feet to see if there is any vascular claudication?

OMG!! Your symptoms sound just like mine. I had the spinal block and then developed worse back pain and leg and foot numbness. I do have the entire spine herniated, bulging and L5-S1 spondylolysis. Let me know what treatments or radiographs work or don't work in the future. I'm going to see my doctor for the Medicare exam in October and want to give her all the info I can to seek more treatment or exams. I am going to ask if she'll refer me for a pain pump. After all I've read about the spinal cord stimulator, I'm walking away from that. Thank you so much for writing in.
