What Causes Back Pain, Foot Numbness And Swollen Knee When Diagnosed With Anorexia?

Hi.ive had a pinched nerve for yrs now in my lower back and about a yr ago I asked my doctor to finally do sumthng because not only is there pain,my left foot was getting numb.Now,for about 2mnths its gotten worse..imy knee is swollen and the foot.the pain is horrible in the knee,back and ankle and the color is yellowish brown so to speak..i know I m retaining fluids which can be why its swelling because I hardly pee.also,last February I started fasting which turned into self diagnosed anorexia cuz I went from 130 to 100 in 1 1/2 mnths.1mnth ago I was down to 94. I cant eat without my stomach killing me with pain and burning.unless its icecream or orange drinks.what can be wrong with my leg? Can anorexia be the cause?
