My husband has had cold feet for the past six months, so he has been bouncing. I visited because it is a neurosurgery clinic rather than a general orthopedic one, but they also provide orthopedic care. I had X-rays taken of my feet and lower back, and they said there was nothing wrong with the top of my foot. They mentioned that there might be fascial inflammation on the outer side of my shin. They said that I would get better if I received an injection and physical therapy first. They explained that if the healing cycle is short or if it does not improve even with physical therapy, symptoms may radiate down my leg because the cartilage between the 4th and 5th vertebrae in the lower back X-ray is slightly protruding and irritating the nerve. Therefore, they suggested treating my lower back if leg physical therapy is ineffective. On the first day, I received an injection and a prescription for medication. The next day, I was told that there was no tingling sensation. Surprisingly, on the second day, I received physical therapy. They told me to come in for a check-up in a week.
