Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
The simptoms could be pain and numbness on the left leg below the knee on the posterior and lateral side of the calf sometimes until the tip of the left toe. You may or may not have back pain.
From the description I don't expect you to have muscle weakness of the left leg since there is not nerve compression.
