Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Numbness in foot relates to nerve compression at the lower lumbar or sacral region of the vertebral column.
You should get an MRI of the LS Spine after consultation with the orthopedic surgeon for best future guidelines of cure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Purva Patel
