Peripheral nerves: Although you could have spinal stenosis, the more likely problem is peripheral neuropathy, and most likely cause in USA is diabetes. Other causes should be investigated. A neurologist could evaluate this further. A virtual consult on HT could assist in pointing toward a programmed evaluation leading to therapeutic control.
