Karen this could be sciatica cos the pain is travelling down your leg along one of the branches of the sciatic nerve and the numbness in your big toe with a painful leg when weight bearing are more signs there could be a trapped nerve at your spine. The problem could be a disc in your spine, have a chiropractor or physio test to see if you respond to McKenzie exercises.

Hi I have been suffering pain in my lower back for about three weeks now and it has also moved down my left leg but down the shin and also I get numbness here and also in my foot especially my big toe. I can not walk for more than ten yards before the pain becomes excrutiating and I have to sit down. My doctor has prescribed anti-inflammitorys and rest but I cannot take much more time off work. Is this sciatica or something else?

Afshirat pain all the way down the leg like that and big toe sensation changes could be a trapped nerve at your spine on one of the branches of the sciatic nerve. I hope the doctor during the examination looked at our reflexes and motor strength and some nerve stretch tests to rule in or out a http://chirocentre.co.uk/radiculopathy-neuritis-trapped-nerve-pain/"radiculopathy. Its up the the examining doctor to help tell you where the nerve is possibly being pinched so as to know what to do from there. Let us know how things have progressed for you.

Hi Kenny, have you been to see a Chiropractor for an examination and opinion as to what your options are. Having gone through two spinal surgeries you would still need some kind of hands on care to help. For you maybe look into different soft tissue techniques to help desensitise the scar tissue. This could be various forms of massage, sciatic nerve mobilisations or having http://chirocentre.co.uk/low-level-laser-therapy/"low level laser therapy or http://chirocentre.co.uk/cold-laser-therapy/ "cold laser therapy on the scar site. A supervised course of rehabilitation exercises to improve the stability of your low back spine would help. If your in Bournemouth I would recommend the http://www.aecc.ac.uk/clinic/rehab.aspx "AECC Rehab Clinic they could maybe guide you in finding someone closer to you as well. Hope you get relief soon and let us know how you progress and what helps you.
