Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensations In The Left Foot

Numbness in left foot with tingling. The other day my left leg gave out on me after I had been standing still for a few minutes. I do have back problems, ie. spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, compressed lumbar vertebra, etc. Worried about the leg giving out and when I tried to walk afterwards, walked like I was shambling...or not really feeling the ground.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there, Tingling, numbness and the feeling ofleg giving away is an indicator of sensorimotor neuropathy which can occur due to a nerve root compression. You need to get an MRI of the spine done to rule out the same. Thank you.
