I was diagnosed with idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (EMG) and spinal stenosis (MRI). I did have successful spinal stenosis in 2004, but now it came back. My buttocks hurt all the time when I sit on a chair, on a sofa, in the car, or lay in bed. However, my doctors are very careful to identify the stenosis as the cause of my neuropathy. The neuropathy is mostly in my feet and I luckily can still run with proper management (insoles, pain patches). Recently, I been experiencing more and more tingling in my legs. My gut feeling is that the stenosis is involved, but I don’t really know where to go from here. Back surgery brings its own risks.
