Did your spine surgery help at all with neuropathy, balance, standing and walking. Right now I can no walk safely without my walker, standing in shower for more than a few minutes leaves me wobbly . Standing to cook for only 5 to 10 minutes results in icey tingling and weakness in legs. If you had any of these symptoms did the surgery help?

Yes. But what really made a difference was a lot of PT and now I am going to a special gym working on my legs and back strength. It took at least a year before I was somewhat comfortable around the house but still using a cane and still not perfect with balance. It is 2 years now since my spine surgery and I still have to be careful with my balance.
