Numbness and tingling are signs of nerve damage. You may want to get an opinion from a neurologist. As you will hear a lot get multiple opinions, trust me I had to learn the hard way. I just recently had back surgery. I had a bulging disc that was pinching my sciatic nerve, the pain however radiated down my leg into my foot before I started having the numbness and tingling, but everyone is different. Seeing a neurologist our even an orthopedic would be in your best interest. Let us know what they say *Hugs*

I agree! It sounds like you may be experiencing nerve pain. Try to find a doctor that can help you with this. Goodluck!

Hello you guys may not belive this but the Doc ( pa ) sat down with all my symptoms anxiety, meniere's and sciatica. She said she wanted the most bang for my buck lol well she found it in Amitriptylin, it's and antidepressant. The one side effect I didn't like was the weight gain but it helped everything else but the Meniere's. I had lower back problems with very bad swelling, numbness and burning down my left hip and leg into my toes. I have a collapsed dick on the Sciatic Nerve the pain is completly gone I still swell but no pain. Hope that helps!
