Hi Mary Mary
I understand where your coming from. Being a spiney sucks but we must keep moving forward and try to find a solution for our spine issues. It is by doing all the research we can and finding the right surgicial solution for our own personal issues  Is your heel numb or the side of your foot? Can you stand on your toes? Can you walk on your heels? These are some test to see if you are having nerve issues pinching nerve or damage. Please see some one ASAP to get relief. All The Best Gil

Hmmmmmmmm...
IF I was to say that it feels as though the numbness/tingling/weird sensation I am having is moving up my leg, would that sound ridiculous? I have NO IDEA what is going on now!! Ugh!! I just need to last until Monday!! I have the apt with the surgeon on that day!!

Mary, don't panic. I am very sorry you are having some new and disconcerting symptoms.
I always have weird sensations that affect all different parts of my feet, legs and even my hands and arms. I am not sure exactly if they are nerve issues from my spinal discs, or if it is something else. I am seeing a rheumatologist on Monday, and I'm hoping she might have some idea of what is going on. But I do believe that at least some of it is caused by the nerves in and around the discs. I can have a slight numb feeling in my heels, and then up my calf. I'll have tingling feelings on the soles of my feet, and running up the side of my leg all the way up my thigh. It is certainly something to talk with the doctor about on Monday. But, nothing to panic about. But do be careful, especially if you are carrying your baby. Though with your back, I hope you limit carrying her as much as possible. But, we wouldn't want you to trip and fall, so just be careful. I really hope that you get some answers on Monday. And that your doctor can offer you some solutions to your pain problems.
