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?

From my experience with this same symptom on my R leg from below the knee down, it sounds like nerve damage. Mine happened when I had a catheter relocation placed in my L5 S1. It’s miserable and I’ve been told that it is untreatable by two neuro surgeons. Do get your veins checked out. It’s an easy procedure. I’m a medically retired PA and I would suggest making an appointment with a neurologist when you can. I wish you lots of luck.
