What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Toe?

I have numbness in my second toe with a feeling of it being strangled while walking and being on my feet all day. I also have needle-like tingling when I first stand on my feet when getting out of bed in the morning (all on the same foot). And I have significant leg pain at times. What cold be causing this?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you are having disc prolapse. In this condition there is disc prolapse in spine which cause nerve compression in the back and that leads to pain going from hip to knee.
I would suggest you to get MRI of the spine to confirm the diagnosis. If there is disc herniation less than 50 percent than she can be treated with physiotherapy.
If it is more than 50 percent than she can be treated with dissectomy.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
