* Correction, myelogram, not myeloma. Just love autocorrect😉 Myelogram is a test where they inject dye to check spinal cord and nerve/nerve root health and to see if there is any injury/communication problem. Your numbness I. Your feet seems like compression or injury of a nerve supplying your feet sensation and communication back to brain about the numbness you are feeling. You may also want to check to see if you have any vascular claudication causing an issue with small fiber nerve health in your feet. A neurologist can do a skin punch biopsy (they take a small sample of tissue at upper thigh and calf or ankle) to check if small nerve fibers have been damaged that are causing your numbness.

wow, curious, if u have a punch biopsy and find your nerve fibers are damaged is there something they can do to prevent further damage OR repair!??
