A member asked:
Can lower back issues like compressed ,bulging disks, or spondylosis of the lumbar spine cause numbness in the soles of your feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Stop guessing and see your doctor, as you could be correct if you are compressing bilateral S-1 roots, but instead, you could have peripheral neuropathy or even tarsal tunnel syndrome.
