Foot neuropathy due to cord compression

I have spondylitis (vertebrae has moved) and severe stenosis between L4-L5. It causes me numbness , tingling and pain in my toes, feet and legs. I saw an orthopedic surgeon and she wants to do Spinal fusion, but they are not always successful. I talked to my primary dr and he sent me to a pain dr. They did ablation on the nerves in my back that has stopped most of my pain and tingling , but it doesn’t help the numbness. For that I use Naboso shoe inserts and socks. The pain dr mentioned if my pain gets unbearable we could try a spinal stimulator.
I do,have a cousin whose back in terrible shape and a spinal stimulator is working for him.

Neuropathy causes the same symptoms quite of few of those people have been alcoholics or diabetics.

I follow the neuropathy topic on this site which has different things to do for the symptoms.

I also saw a Dr to verify that I didn’t have any immune diseases, which can cause the same type of symptoms.

I too have very similar back issues with burning pain from legs to feet (both). I've done two sessions of PT with traction. A bit of help but not enough of course. PT head therapist did not recommend surgery until I have more debilitating issues. He's seen few with any good results. Im doing nerve supplements that are helpful.

Hi, thanks for your story. I also follow the neuropathy group.
