I believe I pinched a nerve on my lower back that caused severe pain that shot through my leg for about 2 hours. This happened over two weeks ago and my right leg is still stiff and hard to walk on. My right foot is numb from the baby toe up to my ankle. Is there anything I can do to stop the numbness is my foot? Also is there anything I can do to loosened the stiff right leg? There is no more pain in my lower back. I believe I hurt myself at the gym the day before this happened.
Hello, You may be suffering from nerve root compression at lower lumbar spine. No back pain with foot numbness is strong indicator of nerve root compression. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed with MRI of the lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, take rest on hard bed. Avoid all gumming exercises. Tablet Regain once at bedtime helps in relief from numbness. I would advise visit to orthopedic spine specialist with MRI report. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
