I have been suffering from neuropathy in both feet for about 6 years along with back/hip pain. I've had several MRIs that confirmed DDD but the doctors said the neuropathy in my feet was unrelated. But then about a year ago spondylolisthesis was found at the L4/5 level, grade one but mobile...goes from 3 to 6mm depending on movement. My doctor said I am a candidate for surgery but is still confused as to why I do not have sciatica that runs down my leg. the pain goes from the back/hip, skips my leg, and then surfaces again in my feet.
Do any of you suffer from spondylolisthesis w/o sciatica but have neuropathy pain in your feet?
I'm just trying to figure out if surgery is the right thing to do to get rid of this!
Luckily the neuropathy is not constant...I go through flare-ups but when it does happen, it can last for months making my life miserable. it seems as if I over exert myself it will bring on a flare up. sound familiar???
