Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
Not only continuation but aggrevation of symptoms after an anti inflammatory drug course indicates the nerve suplying leg&toe is being compressed/pinched by the inflammation /spinal or disc problem.
Take rest. Hot or cold pack will give some relief.
Consult a spinal surgeon with MRI report. He would suggest injectable anti inflammatorydrugor local steroid injection to manage thesymptom followed by oral medicines &physiotherapy OR surgery in few cases.
Thanks.
