I had spinal surgery 2 years ago. I HAD to have it and it was a
success but not without cost. I developed non-diabetic neuropathy
in the balls of my feet and some toes. It is a non-total numbing in
that I have full motor control but touch sensitivity is not 100%.
I'm just going to have to live with it, as I have. They think scar
tissue is slightly against a nerve. It's nothing really serious.
CERTAINLY NOTHING that warrants new surgery.
