[|Human|] I had a fatty tissue tumer removed from my ankle ad arthritis removed from big toe resulting in a fusion. I don t walk to much because I have spinal stenosis and other sppine issues. the foot from the two surgeries has always hurt and I am on opioids . They still work for the spine but the foot is in constant pain burning numb etc.
[|AI|]  Hello, These symptoms are due to nerve dysfunction in the lumbar spine due to the spinal canal stenosis. As its very common that the level where the stenosis does trouble the nerve, the possible dermatomes and motors are affected. Doing core stability exercises are a must to improve the stability of the spine and also avoid certain compression happening over the nerve root or the spinal cord due to stenosis. With core stability exercises you will be benefitted for the symptoms to reduce as well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
