Hello, Thanks for your query. Symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression at the level of lumbar spine. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment. Since there is only numbness of the affected area it suggests that the affection of nerve root is only minimal. Such minor symptoms are usually taken care of by Methylcobalamin supplements which you can take after consulting your orthopedicianI do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
