@sbn4 Thanks for the positive post. I was actually asking for more specific information on what kind of surgery you had. Was it a fusion? Where was the surgery on your spine lumbar, thoracic, or cervical? I recently had a minor decompression surgery on my right side L4-L5, and my sciatica is also fixed, but now my left side is worse than my right side was before surgery.

I’m sorry you are experiencing neuropathy in your feet. I tend to believe most neuropathy comes from our spine. The fact that you had blocked fluid in yours for years seems to be a fairly logical explanation. I also have neuropathy from my spine, but mine improved after my last surgery, but has returned since I messed up the left side at the gym. Nothing seems to help much as you will see if you keep reading posts about neuropathy on this website. My favorite semi very temporary relief comes from walking around my grass barefoot. It’s called grounding, and hopefully I can move to Florida soon so I can do it all year. I’m in crummy Illinois now!

Hi, I had 5 consecutive spinal stenoses removed from S=2, 3,4, 5; L5. This allowed for the cerebrospinal fluid to resume flowing.....hence, no more sciatica! I feel very lucky.
I agree about neuropathy--massage always feels better for a short time
I have not been practicing working out in aquatic settings and am wondering if continuing will bring more relief. I will be starting to do that next week. If it helps directly, I will set up a year round pool where I am now staying most of the time.
Walking in grass seems like a great idea! Sand is also probably a good choice...I will also do that when I am at the river next week....
Thank you for your note.....enjoy Florida...
