Hello,

Leg pain and numbness that spreads from the hip to the toes can be caused by sciatica and is related to the nerve. You may need an examination with the doctor to confirm this. Generally, pain killers are used to help with sciatica. Ibuprofen 600-800 mg every 6 hours after food and Tylenol 500 mg every 6 hours can be used. Also, it is important to keep as active as possible and avoid bed rest. A physiotherapist may help alleviate the pain earlier by giving you exercises that relax muscles and also strengthens them.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
