Thank you for your response. It is possible that I do have circulation problems as I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol as well.
But the reason that this especially concerns me is because the surgeon has said, once you lose a function you will not get it back. That is really scary. In other words, If I had had the surgery to correct the certebral problem earlier, perhaps this would not have happened.
As it is now, I'm finding that it is affecting my walking ability And I hear that it can affect balance as well. I sometimes have that issue too.
Anyway, I do thank you for your response. I have tried heat and that seems to help for a little while. What have you tried?

I understand what you are saying about your experience "being scary". When the neurologist first told me tht I had Peripheal Neuropathy, he explained what it was, that there was no cure, and that it needed to be monitored because if it got out of control, it could come to amputation. I had to discontinue my relationship with that Dr and, in trying to find anyone to help me, to monitor me, they just blow me off [which is not uncommon in PN patients]. It's like, well, there is no cure for it, so don't bother me with it! You gotta' just love it! LOL! I am on a common medication for PN, which is Gabapentin. I take 600 mg, 3-4x daily, along with 1000 mg of x-strength Tylenol at the same time, for the pain and discomfort. Through this Mayo Connect, I have found that there are updated treatment methods and Drs who specialize in PN, but I am having no luck getting into one, but that is another story! LOL!
My PN is getting to the point that the Gaba and Tylenol are not working well at all anymore, so I must get help. Please don't think I am diagnosing you with PN! You may not have it at all. I just thought it may be a possibility you might want to check out. The "frozen feet" got my attention initially. And, yes, with PN, it can affect walking and balance. I also have circulation problems, which affect swelling of my ankles and feet, which can also cause the "freexing" feeling in your feet, thus I asked you about circulation. I do think that you need to get it evaluated so that you know exactly what you are dealing with. I wish you luck in finding a quick answer to your problems, and I send you some Hugs to go along with that wish! ❤️
