Thanks. Any other tips for treatment? I'd like to be able to drive again.

--what kind of work-up or testing have you had to get to the source of your symptoms?

Certainly numb feet can result from peripheral neuropathy, but it can also result from vascular disease or a number of other causes, including spinal problems. (The traction water therapy implies that someone thinks there's a spinal issue.)

Also check your shoes. If you use tie-up types, don't tie too
tightly. There are nerves on the top of the foot, and if you compress them that can cause numbness. If you tie too tightly all the time, you can damage them.

Have you been to a good podiatrist and had a work up to show
any mechanical issues with the feet, bones, ligaments and nerves?

Usually PN will start with tingling/pain of some sort. This progresses to numbness if not intercepted quickly. Did you have other symptoms before the numbness?

We really need to have you tell us more about yourself. It is difficult to comment otherwise. Metanx and/or B12 only work if you were LOW in the nutrients to begin with, for example.

Hi samboh
I have the same problem.
Can't feel pressure with the right foot.
If you have an auto, get used to using your left foot on the brake.
Sometimes if my right foot cramps up I have to use my left foot on the gas too.

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!
