Degenerative discs irritating nerves, causing foot numbness

@njed do you actually have numbness or maybe just a tightening but can still feel the floor or anything you step on? I actually have just what feels like tightness around my feet, like someone wrapped something tight around my foot but I can still feel cold or hot or anything I step on. It started on my foot but it’s now slowly creeping up to my calves and leg.

@panda2ac I have described it in different ways not even clear to me at times. I'll start with what was and now state what is. At first, pins and needles, tingling in toes and side of feet. As time moved on, it went into numbness and a tight sock or tight boot feeling to ankles. Electrical shocks in both legs for about 7 years, that has subsided. All along, numbness got worse and after a few years, developed bilateral drop foot. If I get a stone in my sneaks, it hurts so deep feeling exists. Now....still no pain, tight boot feeling, cool feet and lower legs (on and off), poor balance, best description I tell friends is it feels like your foot fell asleep except it doesn't wake up. Hope this is helpful. Ed
