Intermittent numbness and tingling in foot and leg. x ray revealed bone spur on l4 with some loss of space between l4 and l5 due to arthritis. what is my risk for becoming paralyzed?

Instead of this question. I would ask, Why are you having this difficulty. If you can figure out why you might be able to slow the degenerative process. A common structural problem is a limb length difference or pelvic rotation or both see your family doctor or a back surgeon
