This is probably the best video i have seen on what I believe i have. I just went to spinal specialist and now scheduled for epidural in L5-S1. Symptoms are heavy legs with occasional vibration feeling in upper right thigh. Both feet have tingling.

Do you know what that "heavy" leg feeling is attributed to? I have that but not numbness

Thank you! I finally found the name for my most pressing problem. I've described the symptoms to multiple doctors and have told them what I thought it was (I seem to be right), but the GPs never diagnosed the problem. They scratched their heads, took measurements of nerve transmission in my legs and did an XRay of my spine, but nothing. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome as you described it perfectly matches my experience. I have very flat feet and I've walked very long distances for years until this problem cropped up. Well it was sort of progressive starting with pain on the bottom of my feet. I'll be taking this to my GP next week and - from what I gathered from this video - will ask for a referral to a podiatrist.

What ive learned in life is no one wants to be wrong. Especially a doctor😂. The chiropractic field is so underrated as most drs seem to think it is not significant to the patient. WHY?? Because there is no medication or surgical situations involved. Please.. Please do your body and life a favor and find a reputable doctor. The spine is the most important map system to your body right up there with vascular. Thank you doctor it is very true... "The more you know".. Knowledge is truly power.

Chiropractors don't solve the long-term problem of muscle imbalance that affects the bones. You have to keep going back. But they can provide significant temporary relief.

I went to an Acupuncturist who was highly recommended by a lot of people I know. She was amazing. After my first visit with her she told me a few problems she noticed during her examination. Three visits later, I had no more tingling in my legs and feet, not more back pain and even noticed I slept a lot better at night. I go for tune ups every three months and follow for the most part, eating patterns she suggested and what foods to eat less of. No big changes, but ones that actually made sense and helped. i wish I had known about her years earlier. Sadly, I can't get Medicare to help pay for it, but they do pay for BS medical care I got from Dr's who did me no good.

Everything that you have explained in this video speaks to all of the issues that I'm having and I haven't had a doctor to explain it in this way. So far, all they have wanted to give me is injections and medication to the point that I refuse to get them anymore because it has not stopped the pain. I honestly do not think they really know how to deal with the issues that I am having. I will continue to follow you to get some clarity with diagnosis and treatment. Thank you for having this platform.

I have seen many specialty doctors for the tingling and burning in my feet and legs and none have been able to tell me conclusively what the problem was let alone to treat it. This video seems to explain very clearly and concisely what I started to suspect myself, a nerve compression in the spine and maybe the ankles. I am going to schedule an appointment with my doctor and refer to this video to ask for a new exploration into my symptoms. Thanks!

Now it's my lower back, down my legs all the way down to my feet. Whether I'm walking or sitting or anything. I'm thinking the numbness and pain stuff could be helped. My dr referred me to a specialist. I don't feel like I want to spend the rest of my life this way. I'm 64 and don't see anything golden about these years!! Thank u so much

I’m glad I found your channel and this video. I’m experiencing numbness and pain from butt down to big toe I had a hemmoraghic stroke in June 2022 I’m walking again but this pain started after I got back on my feet about 3 mths later. I’m in Canada. The wait time to see a doctor like you is long. Up to a year or more. TOO LONG. In the time I’m waiting to see doc Feb 2024- I’m doing a lot of research on how to help fix this. I wish I was closer to you.
