Seeing a neurologist

I have had a recent electronic conduction test on my right foot, due to numbness which is making it difficult to walk. It was concluded that I had an issue with my Lumbar 5, albeit no sign of nerve damage. I do have spinal stenosis giving me low grade back pain. I have now been referred to a neurologist. Had anyone been through similar?

Only that I can't feel my feet, no reflexes in soles but hyper rest of foot when touched, told from spinal fractures, sciatic nerve goes all the way down to feet, so made sense to me. They can't do owt about my back so no hope for my feet! I did trip a lot so kept breaking big toes, now walk as if wearing flippers, call it 'clowns feet' when xosted but that's from M.E. Hope they can help you, maybe relieve nerve? 🤔🤞

Thank you for your reply. Our backs, bones and nerves can play havoc. I'm hoping there will be a solution as it does impact on my walking 😊
