Sleeping feet

When I walk after 1/2 mile my feet start to sleep until I have to stop. After a few minutes it goes away then I can start again. Had vascular surgery on my right leg and it worked well curing any pain but then this started. I’m on Bisoprolol Losartan and Rosuvastatin Also get pain in leg muscles and weakness.

Are you sure it's not a pinched nerve in your lower back?

My foot used to go totally numb when walking. I had to stop and stretch my back for a few minutes before I could continue.

Try leaning over a table with both elbows touching it. Squeeze your shoulders together and lift your butt slightly upwards keeping your feet flat.

Doing this often will repair this problem.

I'm not saying this is your problem but worth a punt.

Interesting, the nerves in my leg are still pretty shot after the operation. The Op was in my groin and lower leg still numb. Will try, thanks
