What are effective strategies for managing foot numbness after lumbar surgery, and how can underlying issues be addressed to aid recovery?

To address numbness in your feet after lumbar surgery:

1. B Vitamins: Take B12 (preferably methylcobalamin) and benfotiamine, which supports nerve health and myelin sheath regeneration. Consider taking benfotiamine in higher doses, spread throughout the day.

2. Low-Carb Diet: Follow a low-carb diet to minimize the risk of exacerbating neuropathy, as diabetes can worsen nerve issues.

These measures can help support nerve recovery and reduce numbness.
