Thanks for your response. At present I do not even have a neurologist helping me. The one I had sadly passed away.
I know that the surgeon said he would have a low threshold for deciding to proceed with surgery if any of my symptoms got worse or New ones cropped up.
I do have severe spinal stenosis in the neck which puts pressure on the spinal cord in spinal nerves.
2 or 3 neck vertebrae would have to be removed. In order to relieve the pressure. Then the neck would need to be fused with hardware for support.
Not a pleasant prospect, But one that may be necessary.
I was not aware that this could also affect the feet prior to contacthis group.

I think I have PN as well. For years I've had spinal stenosis, L5-S1 spondylolisthesis, herniated and bulging discs that no doctor would fix. Now it's too late for me. After THA 1-1/2 years ago anterior approach on a Hana table, my left foot is cold, heavy, the skin feels funny. My walking is slow, stumbling, painful left leg. The surgeon said he could have stretched or compressed the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve that could have caused this problem. I am going to try the physiatrist that was suggested in an earlier post and need to check out the color change in my ankles and lower leg. Doctors are like car salesmen, once you buy it, they're gone. Any suggestions?
