What Could Sharp Pain Foot With Back Problems Suggest?
i have got back problems and recently have had 3 epidural steroid injections, last night i laid down on the bed with my feet dangling off the edge, shortly thereafter i got about 3 attacks of very sharp pain in the end of my big toe on left foot, I noticed last night if i kept my feet on the bed i would not have the sharp pain and also if i laid on my stomach and raised my feet i would get the sharp pains also. What could this be?
