@joycaseyrn Hi. My husband has the same issues as you report and I wanted to follow up to see how your surgery went and how you are feeling today.

I have had pain in my feet for many years, although I do have some numbness down my left leg from L4-5, S1 fusion in 2023, this did not relieve this pain.
I do think the foot pain was so severe I couldn’t walk far without burning pain.
I’ve just had a total of 3 cervical fusions since July 30th- a 3 level, from C4-7, first anterior then after a loose screw, I had another one for removal of that hardware and then a posterior fusion, which in comparison is extremely painful. I’m slowly recovering, but I wanted to let you know that a lot of my residual pain in L4-5 S-1 area, which was still affecting my ability to walk any distance along with the feet being so painful, well that pain in my lumbar is gone for the moment! I pray it stays gone.
Has the surgery in my neck (with 3 disc spacers) removed the pain in my lower back and my feet??
Only time will tell. I am 5 weeks since surgery, and I will post again as I improve.
