Thanks for your thoughts. My numb feet issue seemed to come about at the same time as my problem with L4/L5. I got an epidural steroid shot which erased the pain but was left with the foot situation. As back story, I was diagnosed as TIA about six years ago. Metanx quickly helped this. My doctors have mentioned Proprioception and Neuropathy but nobody has given this diagnosis definitively. Yes, the water traction is to decompress the spine.
No podiatrist yet. Thanks!
