A member asked:
Hello i have numbness in my feet due to slipping of the disc in spine because of an accident which i got four years back in which i got fractures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiculopathy: The numbness in your feet is caused by radiculopathy (pressure on nerve roots to the btm of feet). Look up dermatomes on internet to pinpoint which nerves. Next step is to see an orthopedic or neurosurgeon that specializes in spine surgery for initial exam, history, x-rays and likely mri. From there you will likely be referred for pt, epidural injections, other treatments before considering sx.
