The doc thinks foot pain might be coming from L5-S1. 3 major neck surgeries and trouble with L5-S1.
My feet absolutely kill me. It is so painful that I can NOT walk very much. It is VERY painful to stand in one place.
What suggestions can we all share?
The ONLY suggestion that has worked a little bit for me is elevating my feet for long periods of time. It reverses the circulation. It also releases the pressure on my L5-S1.
Does anybody know a good way to keep your legs elevated when you sleep? I keep knocking the pillows and wedges off. Last night, I put one pillow under the mattress but I really don't want to ruin my new mattress. Does anybody think that an adjustable bed is a good idea ---- if somehow I could figure a way to stop tossing and keep lying on my back.
What is the best test or type of doctor for determining if the foot pain is coming from the L5-S1?
