What Causes Severe Pain And Numbness On The Right Foot?

I am having severe back pain with numbness to my right foot. L4-Lg broad based disc bulge with thickening of the ligamentum flavum produce triangulation of the thecal sac stenosis, worse on right then on the left. C-Spine shows multiple disc bulges, but at L5-S1 vacuum disc phenomenon, severe right neural foramina stenosis, impinging the Right L5 exiting nerve root. I can not get myself in a comfortable position and don t know what Dr. will do, just saw results.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As I see the pain in your back and in the leg comes from the bulges between L4 and L5. Normally, this kind of pain radiates toward the buttocks behind the calf to the foot. Better visit a doctor for the best suggestion and treatment. A neurosurgeon will give you the right treatment in base of this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Emilda Belortaja
