Odd Symptom... Hi All!
Just a quick question: Has anyone ever had that "tingling, going to sleep" feeling in your foot stemming from a CERVICAL herniated disc that is compressing the spinal cord????
I have put a call into my doctor's nurse, but they aren't known for being real 'prompt' on returning phone calls...
Just curious. I have an old, small herniated disc L4-L5, so this may be generated by that disc, I'm just not sure. I haven't had any lower back symptoms for over a year.
Thanks, again, for all your help and encouragement.
Best Always,
Alynn

Re: Odd Symptom... Thanks, Justin!
I guess I just wanted an idea of how concerned I should be, and if it were normal or should be alarming! I don't know when my Dr.'s office will call back. It's kind of scary...
I appreciate the response! Have a Great Day! and Weekend!
Best Always,
