Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Tingling In Both Legs And Feet

Need to exclude peripheral neuropathy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your past details and current symptoms.
Based on that, we need to exclude a disease of peripheral nerves of legs/feet, called as peripheral neuropathy.
A nerve conduction study would help in that.
If the nerve conduction study rules out peripheral neuropathy, then, it would be worthwhile removing the screws, as these symptoms could also occur due to compression of nerves in the lower back (lumbar) region.
As of now, you can try pregabalin capsules for symptom relief, if not already tried.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,

Thank you for getting back.
Detailed Answer:
I presume that nerve conduction tests were also done along with EMG and they were normal.
Fusion may be redone using your bone, if there is canal stenosis and nerve compression on the MRI now.
Technically it is difficult to remove screws, but can be done by experienced surgeons.
Fall usually would not cause these problems.

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
