I have no balance. numbness in foot and leg is excruciating excruciating for the most part at the time and the coldness in the foot is a terrible sensation hard to warm up. the winter months are the worst. is there anything that can be done to correct this where do I need to go. they are now ordering me pain management and gave me facet shots in upper back mid back for pain 3 weeks ago after I realize insurance was not going to pay for the procedure they did it anyway. this is horrible I'm devastated I have always been physically active I am a 64 year old woman. can anyone give me advice what to do in this situation.

    i cannot give you advice because you described almost exactly my situation. 8 weeks post op and suddenly the leg doesn't work... sometimes i can walk if i sort of drag the leg, other times i can barely move the leg. i experience excruciating pain from my knee to the bottom of my foot.

    I hope you are feeling better.
