Suggest Remedy For Pain In Leg

I experience pain in my left leg while in bed. When I am active, I have little or no discomfort. Sitting can also cause pain. At times the outside of my left calf is on the verge of being numb. I sometimes have tingling in my left toes. Strangest of all is that it feels I have sticky paper on the sole of my left foot just below the toes.

Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.
i generally give them rest analgesics,exercises,physio etc.
if it doesnt get better,i advice an mri done to find out the cause.

U seem to have compressed a nerve in the back somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in those regions.Possibility of a lumbar disc prolapse or another disc should be kept in mind.
I suggest you get an Xray as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
Avoid surgery as far as possible.If at all its needed,get it done endoscopically.

.Nothing to worry about.Do get back to me after ur mri reports are ready.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
