Many neuropathy issues, so why so few doctors who know?

I can barely feel my right foot. Stumbling, burning sensation as if it’s asleep and will not wake up. It’s getting worse as time goes by.

My left foot is not as bad. However, I do feel the burning but not the asleep sensation.

I am concerned that my back (8 years after surgery) is starting to get painful again. I think 8 - 10 years is what the surgeon told me my spinal fusion would last. I don’t know what may happen next.

I hope the next step is not surgery. If your surgeon pushes for it, consider 2-3 other opinions.
Did they say the foot problem is from fibrosis tethering the nerve or something else? Or was the it from a nerve root receiving direct damage from a herniated disc or maybe accidently by the surgeon during the surgery?
