Im still waiting after 2yrs to get a doctor to help me.. mine has gotten worse and hopefully this 2nd opinion help me out.. my started like below my right knee side from a injury then i developed coldness in both my legs and numbness then injured my shin causing fat necrosis and its still bad now its spread to my left leg and now tingling in my feet and my left foot my left toe gets numb so walking is now difficult and the pins and needles are bad
Active Release Therapy has helped me (A.R.T) in combination with acupuncture. Up here in Canada some Chiropractors are trained in ART and acupuncture. I'm now using the Kineon Move + red light/laser on my hamstring, below my knee on the outside of my leg, and near my ankle. I had sciatica when I herniated my disc and the small toe and part of my left foot on the outside is numb. I once had treatment and the feeling in my small toe came back but then went back to being numb. It might be too late for me to totally fix it but I feel less tension now using the Kineon.
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.
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.
Thanks a lot Dr for taking so much efforts in explaining the causes of foot numbness and tingling. Honestly appreciate it. I learnt a lot from your video. I am 68 yrs old and from India.
Absolutely the BEST and most informative presentation I have heard and seen since I started needing to find answers to the tingling and numbness in my feet. I have been treated for pain which I do not experience and no one listens to my complaints of numbness and tingling. Thank you.
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.
Extremely interesting and pertinent to my current situation. Neurophathy is an added diagnosis to sciatica. You've given me much to discuss with my doctors. Thank you.
Great information.. I have a problem with pinched nerve in my lower spine and have burning nerve pains in my my bums down my legs and feet! I've found this video extremely helpful.
I've had tingling in my legs for approximately 10 years. 9 months ago my legs and feet started to stop functioning normally. A neurologist has diagnosed me with Cerabella atrophy. It's worth including this as it wasn't mentioned. Otherwise excellent information.
This is very thorough and helpful! Thank you. I do have tingling on the top of the foot and I periodically have had pain in my knees. Also I have flat feet.
Thank you. I have both hand and feet neuropathy. Just felt it. I had Laminectomy last n 2001. Now, i cannot walk properly. It just happen. I was dancing then I went down on the floor. I have been on self medication I learned from you tube. B12, b complex with vit e? Turmeric, magnesium, calcium and zinc. Gabapentin. I am 78 yrs old today and having massage therapy but no change yet. Thank you and Gob bless you more.
I've been telling my neuro there's something wrong with my back since my surgery. It's been many years since my surgery, but my foot is so numb and getting worse. I can feel the circulation being cut off, but all I got was that there was no nerve damage. I've learned a lot from this video than I ever did listening to other doctors. Your great
thank you so much for all your support i have been going through a lot of pain in the ball of my feet i can berley walk some days your information will help me so much from australia
Great 👍🏽 information, and amazing presentation! Really enjoyed your practical breakdown and of how you think about your diagnosis. I’ve been a massage therapist for 29 years, and feel those were all great angles to explore.
I learned a lot of my issues with back and pain running down from my bottom to the back of my foot and under my foot. If I massage under my foot, ankle and from heel up to back of knee I will get relieve. Some times I experienced burning sensation of the foot. Thank you for this video. I planned to look at it and taken notes to discuss with my doctor. Thank you for this educational video.
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.
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.
This presentation is awesome and very instructive as I'm going to a Neuro for the first time and I do feel like I have two separate things going on at the same time. Thanks Dr. as I feel so more informed.
How long did it take for tingling to go away? I have cervical and lower back issues, gone to physio for 2 weeks now, my neck feel better, the tingling leg is still here? i also do at home stretching exercises , some of the days i feel them less, and others more, I dont know what should I do anymore
Doctor Cooper I've learned a lot from you today about my spine and about the numbness that I get in the top of my foot also about my growing I want to thank you for this video it really showed me a lot and it taught me a lot and I wanted to say thank you very much because I don't think your doctor's appear to know anything I've been suffering for months now with my lower back hurting it's taking away my ability to walk on my own it's taken away my ability to urinate on my own and nobody wants to do anything and I want to say thank you I suffer a lot
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!
Thank you for a highly informative video presented in a way that is easy to understand. I especially found the information about double crush syndrome and the importance of the electromyography test helpful.
Absolutely fabulous explanation and education on this subject! Thank you. Your video has helped me on my journey to figure out what's causing my neuropathy symptoms. I just really wish you were my doctor!!!
Thanks a lot for these very clear and detailed explanations. I have excruciating pain and tingling in the groin and bottom of my feet , which get better when I sit down. Now it makes sense that it’s coming from my back as I have spondylolithesis LV3/LV4 through LV/S1.
Excellent insight analysis of the tingling and foot numbness and thought for a new approach to whole thought of treatments and modern access. Thank you Dr. Grant for your great presentation.
A well thought out, interesting and very informative presentation. I will keep this information in mind the next time I visit my provider with some type of pain issue(s)...
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.
I’m sorry to hear all of that. What you might do is start some gentle exercises for your back and see if that is helpful. Waiting a year to see a doctor is way too long. Hang in there.
Thank you. You've given me more answers than anyone else. And much to think about. Being told we don't know why Is very discouraging So again,, thank you
I’m so happy I found this video. I do have L5 issues and have had many sessions or Spinal decompression sessions and I think it’s time to go back for more.
I’m glad I live 19 miles away from your office. Obviously I live in NJ. I have an appointment next week on August 6th. But I don’t have the appointment with you Dr. but with another doctor. I took the first available appointment. All the doctors I’m sure are excellent there from all the great reviews I read last week. I’m so glad I found about you because of youtube.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been suffering from these symptoms for more than a year, and although I had an idea it was from the spine (as I have the disc herniations), things are so much clearer to me now, and I understand what my next steps need to be.
Thank you so much for this video it helps me understand about numbness and tingling on my feet.. I hope to hear what are the treatments that needs to be done ..it would help a lot. Thank you doc .
Excellent video Doc, explained in a very simple way for a layman like me, incidentally I was diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis of L4-L5n and L5-S1 and at stage 1. Used to experience some of these challenges that and fortunately with a series of regular exercise, it is now managed.
Thank you that made alot sense to me. I started getting numbness from my low back to my foot on one side several years ago.. but not often just once in awhile. 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
Good information! My top of the both feet hurt and tingling around 3:00 a.m. almost every other night, I made sure I took enough magnesium , potassium, and blood circulation supplements. I don't know why.
That can be very frustrating. I would suggest you go and see your doctor and likely get a nerve test to help identify the source of your symptoms. The first step to a treatment plan is going to be an accurate diagnosis.
Great explanation. Cauda equina of the spine caused by very heavy lifting in my job.had emergency surgery four years ago. I have peripheral neuropathy in my left foot numbness tingling can't move toes tried everything and exercises every day since spine op four years ago. Cauda equina is extremely rare.surgeon relieved my pain and I was lucky got in time only just as could have been left in a wheelchair. Wish though I could get rid of symptoms I have.this doc described peripheral neuropathy very well one last thing feels I have crumpled up sock under foot
My feet and leg numbness started two days after I had my 2nd Astra Zeneka covid jab in April 2021 and have not been right since. I had conducive tests and was told I do not have peripheral neuropathy and eventually the numbness should go. Well, I’m still waiting!!
Glad I found this! I was thinking I must be pre-diabetes! Obviously I have nerve irritation from sleeping on a bad mattress on just one side of my body for 2.5 weeks 😢
I have a terrible burning sensation in bottom of both feet at night that after being on it all day that gets a little better when put in cold water.I have also have pain in the lower back that gets real painful when I work in the garden or vacuum the house,but goes away as soon as I sit down.I have been to several doctors that they only give strong pain pill that it dose not help.Thank you for very informative presentation.I will try to show it to my Son who is a physician and see if he could Gide me through diagnosis.Thank you agin and God bless you.
Thank you for such a deep presentation on this topic without sensationalism. I noticed a slight numbness on top of a couple toes on my left foot. Looked it up on the net and says it could be from diabetes or the beginnings of MS. Watching your video calmed me down. Thank you
Just by listening to you you brought hope to my life once again I 'm suffering with numbness and stiffness under my left instep for about two years now and thought it was something I would have to live with for the rest of my life It is very uncomfortable and sometimes painful My podiatrist told me there isn't t any thing that could be done to help or fix this problem Just keep on taking gabapentin
Thank you for showing diagrams along with your explanations. As a more visual learner I was able to isolate what has been going on with my foot. A lot of resources say that diabetes is very likely, but considering how I just got a blood test for my physical and my doctor (who is quite good to me) didn't flag anything close to diabetes and actually said my levels improved overall, I knew that couldn't be the case. Seeing that my numbness is coming from the S1 and that it's connected to back issues, I have a good starting point of how to treat it.
I have a hypothesis on neuropathy. When I was young you never heard of this condition. The increase of these two symptoms could rise from external sources. Such as what we ingest into our bodies or what we are exposed to in our atmosphere. Radio and microwave comes to mind. Something I might pursue a little more.
Excellent summary of anatomy in relation to functionality and clinical consequences relevant to therapy>. Thank you for carefully organizing the potential cause-effect relationships. This video helped clarify both the historical origins of my bizarre symptoms and the equally bizarre conseuqnecs of attempted therapies recommended for them. Your wisdom was and is deeply appreciated. I would add that soaking my feet in warm water was an effective adjunct to other perturbents of normal functions. ☺☺☺
Wow, how interesting. I have Carpol Tunnel with both hands.i wake up with my hands being numb. Thank you so much. I learned a lot from your video. I wish all the Orthos and Podietist would learn this info.
Post Laminectomy L4, and removal from Baclofen, I have the tingling radiating from the lower back down to the right leg to the foot and toes. Thanks for helping me to describe these symptoms to my doctor.
Thank you so much for the information. . You are afantastic speaker. I cannot thank you enough for providing a resource to understand how the body works. I have tears in my eyes because I have always hoped to find information for guidance. My prayers have been answered. God bless you.
Mine started when Covid came from sitting too much! Gaining weight and no exercise so I have signed up for exercise and losing weight! Your video was very informative thank you
I hope the surgery for your cancer was successful. Consider talking to your doctor about the numbness. Often an EMG can diagnose what is causing the numbness and tingling after surgery and then you can use that to go down the best treatment path.
Very informative, I’ve been having tingling issues under balls of my feet for awhile. I see now some of the symptoms, and one is the lower back and sciatica nerve. Now I’m recovering from LKTR surgery and I’m certain that pathway has been compromised. Hopefully as I improve from LKTR I hoping the nerve repairs itself. At least things making sense. I’m In NJ I may have to come see you.
Re the last comment, I forgot to add the symptom of intermittent lower back pain when standing and walking which disappears when sitting or lying down, and which can disappear after 20 mins of normal speed walking, and which sometimes descends into the left buttock. The question is: what should a doctor do to identify the cause(s) so that correct treatment can be applied? Diabetes is not a factor. Many thanks!
Thank you very much. Your presentation explains my predicament so well. I was in a car accident and have multiple points of pain, tingling, and numbness on one side. Back, knee, hip and foot Dxs but not ankle. My ankle has been skipped over. Is that quadruple crush? 😊Thanks again.
Thanks for a very informative video. I've had peripheral neuropathy for three years, unsuccessfully trying a number of treatments, and trying to lessen the discomfort with Gabapentin. FWIW, I quit the Gabapentin and finally got relief and progressive improvement with 600mg of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid daily.
Thanks for the most informative talk .I recently started to feel numbness o my left thigh and tingling sensation under both feet.I assume I need to see a Podiatrist urgently

Thank you for your kind feedback. Treatment really depends on the diagnosis. So the first step of treatment has to be an accurate diagnosis of what is causing your symptoms. If you are having numbness and tingling, often a nerve test is helpful to trace out where the problem is coming from.
I would love to meet you and have you check out my foot numbness and tingling problem. Where should I go to get this examination done? This is the best explanation of my peripheral neuropathy problem and what could be causing it. I definitely have pinched nerves in both neck and back!
I got shingles … 2 months … still I have pain … sametimes leg gets numbness… I understand it’s nerves problem…. From you 🙏when I move it’s comes normal…. I control my diabetic…🙏
Thank you Dr Cooper. That was very interesting. You mention you can cure carpal tunnel syndrome and I would like to know the best way forward with this as I have recently been diagnosed with it, but no help has been advised except wearing a splint to neutralise the wrist with no further guidance for the future.
There are lots of ways to get carpal tunnel syndrome better. The basic evidence based conservative options would be bracing, physical therapy, ultrasound guided injection and surgery. If bracing around the clock isn’t helping then you may want to talk to your doctor about the possibility of an injection. Therapy can also be really helpful. Surgery is of course a last resort but is minimally invasive and does tend to be very effective. Alternative therapies would include things like acupuncture, which some people definitely report good results from. Bottom line - there are a bunch of options and it depends a bit on your nerve test results. The first step for you sounds like to go back to your doctor and make a comprehensive plan moving forward.

I learned more in 18 minutes of this video than from 8 months of seeing numerous "experts" and "specialists".
I have had this pain for 20 years. Not a single dr has helped me.
Maybe they have no solution
If given what will happen to Pharma industry and medical profession
😂 so have I! So this is why I sak my doctor, " why did you want to become a doctor why you don't know what's going on with your patient?"
Im still waiting after 2yrs to get a doctor to help me.. mine has gotten worse and hopefully this 2nd opinion help me out.. my started like below my right knee side from a injury then i developed coldness in both my legs and numbness then injured my shin causing fat necrosis and its still bad now its spread to my left leg and now tingling in my feet and my left foot my left toe gets numb so walking is now difficult and the pins and needles are bad

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
I'm having my foot 🦶 pain I'm old 88n ken do tu mach

Who is she? In what state are you or that acupuncturist? Care to share?
Were you able to walk before this?
You're surprised? It's all a big racket. Big pharma & the "medical" community
This taught me so much about leg numbness and double crush syndrome. Thank you!!
Thanks a lot Dr for taking so much efforts in explaining the causes of foot numbness and tingling. Honestly appreciate it. I learnt a lot from your video. I am 68 yrs old and from India.

In my case it's the L5 which is the culprit . I do physiotherapy exercises(lying on my back) in bed every day to keep it in control .
This video has helped me to understand about my feet pain.Good information.

Legendary informative video. Thank you doctor. I have learned a lot about my peripheral neuropathy.

LV3/LV4 through LV/S1.
Right now, while listening to your lecture, am feeling tingling and slight numbness on my right foot. Maybe walking a bit is needed.
Excellent insight analysis of the tingling and foot numbness and thought for a new approach to whole thought of treatments and modern access. Thank you Dr. Grant for your great presentation.

To understand and cure the problem, is a lifetime problem.
What the Doctor is not saying directly: LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.
He treated the patient with an epidural and fixed the problem.
For a moment
I’m so happy I found this video. I do have L5 issues and have had many sessions or Spinal decompression sessions and I think it’s time to go back for more.
I’m glad I live 19 miles away from your office. Obviously I live in NJ. I have an appointment next week on August 6th. But I don’t have the appointment with you Dr. but with another doctor.

Excellent video Doc, explained in a very simple way for a layman like me, incidentally I was diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis of L4-L5n and L5-S1 and at stage 1. Used to experience some of these challenges that and fortunately with a series of regular exercise, it is now managed.
What are those exercises?
Kindly tell me the exercise for the same
Thank you that made alot sense to me. I started getting numbness from my low back to my foot on one side several years ago.. but not often just once in awhile. 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
Thank you, Dr..such an important presentation!! ❤❤❤
I'm very thankful for the excellent explanation !!!
Good information! My top of the both feet hurt and tingling around 3:00 a.m. almost every other night, I made sure I took enough magnesium , potassium, and blood circulation supplements. I don't know why.
That can be very frustrating. I would suggest you go and see your doctor and likely get a nerve test to help identify the source of your symptoms. The first step to a treatment plan is going to be an accurate diagnosis.
Superb analysis and explanation. Thank you Dr.
Very well done with excellent information.
Great video with a lot of good information. The current wait time for EMG testing in Niagara and the closest main city is 4-6 months.
Great explanation. Cauda equina of the spine caused by very heavy lifting in my job.had emergency surgery four years ago. I have peripheral neuropathy in my left foot numbness tingling can't move toes tried everything and exercises every day since spine op four years ago. Cauda equina is extremely rare.surgeon relieved my pain and I was lucky got in time only just as could have been left in a wheelchair. Wish though I could get rid of symptoms I have.this doc described peripheral neuropathy very well one last thing feels I have crumpled up sock under foot
My feet and leg numbness started two days after I had my 2nd Astra Zeneka covid jab in April 2021 and have not been right since. I had conducive tests and was told I do not have peripheral neuropathy and eventually the numbness should go. Well, I’m still waiting!!
Same here after 3 Pfizer vaccines
Glad I found this! I was thinking I must be pre-diabetes! Obviously I have nerve irritation from sleeping on a bad mattress on just one side of my body for 2.5 weeks 😢
I have a terrible burning sensation in bottom of both feet at night that after being on it all day that gets a little better when put in cold water.I have also have pain in the lower back that gets real painful when I work in the garden or vacuum the house,but goes away as soon as I sit down.I have been to several doctors that they only give strong pain pill that it dose not help.Thank you for very informative presentation.I will try to show it to my Son who is a physician and see if he could Gide me through diagnosis.Thank you agin and God bless you.
Dr. Cooper is amazing. Thank you, doc.
Thank you for such a deep presentation on this topic without sensationalism. I noticed a slight numbness on top of a couple toes on my left foot. Looked it up on the net and says it could be from diabetes or the beginnings of MS. Watching your video calmed me down. Thank you
Just by listening to you you brought hope to my life once again
I 'm suffering with numbness and stiffness under my left instep for about two years now and thought it was something I would have to live with for the rest of my life
It is very uncomfortable and sometimes painful
My podiatrist told me there isn't t any thing that could be done to help or fix this problem
Just keep on taking gabapentin
Thank you for showing diagrams along with your explanations. As a more visual learner I was able to isolate what has been going on with my foot. A lot of resources say that diabetes is very likely, but considering how I just got a blood test for my physical and my doctor (who is quite good to me) didn't flag anything close to diabetes and actually said my levels improved overall, I knew that couldn't be the case. Seeing that my numbness is coming from the S1 and that it's connected to back issues, I have a good starting point of how to treat it.
Thank you very much Dr Copper. I have learnt a lot from your video.
I have a hypothesis on neuropathy. When I was young you never heard of this condition.
The increase of these two symptoms could rise from external sources. Such as what we ingest into our bodies or what we are exposed to in our atmosphere.
Radio and microwave comes to mind.
Something I might pursue a little more.
Excellent information on Peripheral Neuropathy.
I've learn a lot from your video and hope I can do that again tomorrow thanks again
Dr, you have educated us with proper explanation. Thanks a lot.
Excellent summary of anatomy in relation to functionality and clinical consequences relevant to therapy>. Thank you for carefully organizing the potential cause-effect relationships. This video helped clarify both the historical origins of my bizarre symptoms and the equally bizarre conseuqnecs of attempted therapies recommended for them. Your wisdom was and is deeply appreciated. I would add that soaking my feet in warm water was an effective adjunct to other perturbents of normal functions. ☺☺☺
Wow, how interesting. I have Carpol Tunnel with both hands.i wake up with my hands being numb. Thank you so much. I learned a lot from your video. I wish all the Orthos and Podietist would learn this info.
Post Laminectomy L4, and removal from Baclofen, I have the tingling radiating from the lower back down to the right leg to the foot and toes. Thanks for helping me to describe these symptoms to my doctor.
Thank you so much for this information ,very useful, God bless you and yours 🙏🏽🤗😃
Thank you so much for the information. . You are afantastic speaker. I cannot thank you enough for providing a resource to understand how the body works. I have tears in my eyes because I have always hoped to find information for guidance. My prayers have been answered. God bless you.
Thank you for the information I'm suffering from this after I ve done Rhizotomy it's so painful 😭😭😭😭
Very interesting and informative
Great information and presentation.
Very informative video!
Very helpful and thank you 🙏. I have my big toes numbing. I will definitely do a Emg.
Mine started when Covid came from sitting too much! Gaining weight and no exercise so I have signed up for exercise and losing weight! Your video was very informative thank you
Doc, you're such a ⭐! Do continúe to shine with your amazing work
Mine started after surgery for ovarian cancer. My left leg only, nothing I do seems to help, but it's better than it was initially.
I hope the surgery for your cancer was successful. Consider talking to your doctor about the numbness. Often an EMG can diagnose what is causing the numbness and tingling after surgery and then you can use that to go down the best treatment path.
Best information I’ve found! Thank you!
Am blessed with your explanation because I have double crushe syndrome, please need your assistance from PNG in pacific..thanks Doctor
Very helpful as i have the double crush syndrome. Have been putting off the. Tarsal tunnel and am getting an epidural.. this gives me hope!!
Thank you for the information. I have leg and foot tingling occasionally. I'm trying to figure out why. It looks like a complicated situation.
Very informative, I’ve been having tingling issues under balls of my feet for awhile. I see now some of the symptoms, and one is the lower back and sciatica nerve. Now I’m recovering from LKTR surgery and I’m certain that pathway has been compromised. Hopefully as I improve from LKTR I hoping the nerve repairs itself. At least things making sense. I’m
In NJ I may have to come see you.
Thank you. The video was very informative.
Nice Presentation, kindly make a video on exercises for L4-L5 and L5-S1 nerve pinching
Thank you for the kind words. This would be a good place to start for those exercises: th-cam.com/video/22FzvFefP1o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=89U0GgjAw3Hb_WT1
Re the last comment, I forgot to add the symptom of intermittent lower back pain when standing and walking which disappears when sitting or lying down, and which can disappear
after 20 mins of normal speed walking, and which sometimes descends into the left buttock. The question is: what should a doctor do to identify the cause(s) so that correct treatment can be applied? Diabetes is not a factor.
Many thanks!
You were so helpful thank you wish you were my doctor
Thank you very much. Your presentation explains my predicament so well. I was in a car accident and have multiple points of pain, tingling, and numbness on one side. Back, knee, hip and foot Dxs but not ankle. My ankle has been skipped over. Is that quadruple crush? 😊Thanks again.
I learned a lot. Thank you
Thanks for a very informative video. I've had peripheral neuropathy for three years, unsuccessfully trying a number of treatments, and trying to lessen the discomfort with Gabapentin. FWIW, I quit the Gabapentin and finally got relief and progressive improvement with 600mg of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid daily.
How long on the Alpha did it take for relief?
Alpha did nothing for me.
I can't say exactly how long it took for the R-ALA to take effect, but it wasn't long - probably not more than a week or so.
Alpha works better for those who are insulin resistant, than those who suffer symptoms for other reasons.
To follow up...my mri just informed me that I have 2 comprised disks that are responsible for the numbness in my feet and legs. We move on.
OMG I'm glad ou spoke on this. I have the ones that goes with my back.
Thanks for the most informative talk .I recently started to feel numbness o my left thigh and tingling sensation under both feet.I assume I need to see a Podiatrist urgently

Thank you for explaining everything to us you are correct about how the symptoms is it but what treatment can I use to it.
Thank you for your kind feedback. Treatment really depends on the diagnosis. So the first step of treatment has to be an accurate diagnosis of what is causing your symptoms. If you are having numbness and tingling, often a nerve test is helpful to trace out where the problem is coming from.
I would love to meet you and have you check out my foot numbness and tingling problem.
Where should I go to get this examination done?
This is the best explanation of my peripheral neuropathy problem and what could be causing it. I definitely have pinched nerves in both neck and back!
I got shingles … 2 months … still I have pain … sametimes leg gets numbness… I understand it’s nerves problem…. From you 🙏when I move it’s comes normal…. I control my diabetic…🙏
Thank you Dr Cooper. That was very interesting. You mention you can cure carpal tunnel syndrome and I would like to know the best way forward with this as I have recently been diagnosed with it, but no help has been advised except wearing a splint to neutralise the wrist with no further guidance for the future.
There are lots of ways to get carpal tunnel syndrome better. The basic evidence based conservative options would be bracing, physical therapy, ultrasound guided injection and surgery. If bracing around the clock isn’t helping then you may want to talk to your doctor about the possibility of an injection. Therapy can also be really helpful. Surgery is of course a last resort but is minimally invasive and does tend to be very effective. Alternative therapies would include things like acupuncture, which some people definitely report good results from. Bottom line - there are a bunch of options and it depends a bit on your nerve test results. The first step for you sounds like to go back to your doctor and make a comprehensive plan moving forward.
