How To Treat Pain From Left Hip Down To Toe?

I am diabetic. recently have changed/improved my diet, lost a lot of weight. Seem to have wrenched my back on one side. Now have pain from the left hip down to that toe. Can sit and walk pretty OK, but it s hard to sleep despite having just bought a new firm mattress. Am taking Advil and using a heating pad in bed, but seem to need something stronger. What to do?

Hi,

Its due to disc problem or hip problem in your case.

Get xray of lumbosacral spine in AP and Lateral view, xray of pelvis with both hips in AP and send me the report.

Till then have tab aceclofenac+thiocolchicoside combination by prescription of your family doctor.

Thanks.
