Hi
I think you should get emg ncv study of lower affected limb with mri lower spine to see weather the prolapse disc is not pressing the root which supplies the leg causing numbness. Besides you too should get your diabetes checked and varicose vein because in above condition numbness is likely to be.
Without the above imvestigation it is difficult to diagnose your pathology.
Still you consult your orthopaedic surgeon.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
