Question: Having been having numbness from ankle to my toes and have develop pain in the front of my leg,especially when I lie down?
Brief Answer:
Nerve compression is the reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
From your description, the reason of your symptoms lies in the spine. There must be some nerve compression in the spine which gives ankle and toes numbness as well as the leg pain.
As physical therapy does not help much, I suggest you to consult orthopedist. Spine MRI should be done and surgery considered.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
