Burning feet

Not my first post here, but hi everyone! Nearly 8 months in to managing grade 1 spondy, pars fracture with a bulged disc at the same level. I’ve been having success in getting my back pain very very low- sometimes I’m pain free in that area and others it’s quite low. However, now that my back pain is progressively getting lower and not at the forefront of my every thought I am noticing I have BURNING feet whenever I stand still or walk more than 4-6 hours. I simply can’t stand still, I have to move constantly or they burn and feel super heavy. Sometimes when I stand still my feet turn very red - then immediately when I move they are back to their normal color. I have brought this to a reputable surgeons attention (the color change) and he couldn’t give me an answer as to why but also does not recommend surgery for my case. Does anyone deal with this? What is the cause? Is there something I can do to help improve? Thanks in advance!

Hello! I’ve been working on “recovering” or minimizing symptoms for 5 months from grade 1 spondy with a disc bulge. Slowly, but surely I am getting better with ESI (3 months ago) - consistent exercise daily & focusing on anti inflammatory diet. Went from bed ridden 9/10 pain to taking care of my two toddlers again! While my quality of life is getting better monthly I’m still in pain 5/10. id like to hear your stories? Anyone living close to normal with this condition? Pain free? Any positive feedback would be appreciated. Do things get better pain wise? Is there a base line? I’m new to this so any tips are welcome!
