DO X- Ray and MRI lumbosacral spine TO Assess the condition well..May be radicular leg pain due nerve root compression.You should recieve pregabalin(lyrica 150 mg once daily before sleep) to relieve numbness and allow you to sleep well.also Thiotic acid (Thiotacid 600 mg twice daily) Can help to relieve your neuropathic pain.
