Hi
I have had feet numbness for 5 or 6 years in both feet and leg muscle atrophy. I was diagnosed with sciatica issues due to stenosis in several locations near the base of the spine. I had a triple laminectomy about 3 years ago to resolve the stenosis and clear the sciatica. However, the sciatica nerve had already been damaged. Since then, I have been working on returning leg strength with a stationary bike and frequent Nautilus machine workouts and the leg strength is pretty good now, but leg stamina isn't good. If I walk 50 or 60 yards, my legs are "tired" and I have to rest. After resting I can do another 50 or 60 yards, etc. The feet numbness is always present and by morning after awakening my feet are really buzzing and "cold"...but no pain. I am trying a "light" device on the spine and just started applying a TENS device to the calves. I frequently use a hot tub and direct the water jets onto the spine and the feet/calves.
I'm looking to find out if there are any other approaches I can try?
