Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Aloha Doc, One week ago, I turned over in bed, felt and heard a POP in my right low back and awakened the next morning with numb 2,3,4th right toes. If I m up on my feet, the numbness is quite apparent and my lower back feels awful. What s happened?
I recommend with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a lumbar spine X-ray study. Your symptoms could be suggestive of a pinched nerve or a disc herniation in the lumbar spine.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
