Thats exactly how I felt when I went to Germany last year to have my lumbar thoroughly checked out and suddenly the neurologist concluded that my NECK was the source of the problems in my feet and I should have that worked on FIRST even though my back hurts really bad and I can hardly walk.

The mechanics (the spinal surgeons) all agree that my original complaint which is rather obvious on all the imaging should be addressed first as the change of sucess is higher and it is obvious where the pain comes from but agree with the neuro that there is a chance I would still have the problems in my feet.

I can walk much better now but I still have lots of problems in my feet, they seems to still come from my lumbar (bending! maybe too much motion in that Activ-L???). But at the same time when I sit on easy chair with my neck bent forward (like right now, typing) it makes the problems in my feet worse, tingle tingle. 2 problems?

I to think I have bad back genes.
