Brief Answer:
You may be having disc problem in spine

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX ,
I have studied your case.Most probably you are having disc herniation with nerve compression in back.it is causing pain in both leg.
To confirm this diagnosis I would recommend you to get MRI of the spine.This will confirm the diagnosis. If there is herniation then you will need to do following.
1.Take pregabalin M one daily.
2. Back muscle strengthening exercises.
3.hot water fomentation
4.Bed rest and avoid weight lifting and forward bending.
I would also suggest you to get x ray of the foot to see if there is any hair line fracture in the toe. Then you will need strapping.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
