Why Do I Have Lower Abdominal Pain And Numbness In Leg And Foot?

I have shooting pain in my lower abdomen area, combined with pain and numbness in left leg and foot. It has gotten progressively worse over the last four months. It is usually at its worst in the morning when I wake up. But it is also very bad now when I am on my feet all day. It is now really beginning to affect my work. I don't want to go the gym anymore or do anything. I just want to rest when I'm not working. I am worried it is something very serious...any thoughts?

Hi. Yes , this is serious. You have to undergo MRI of the lower spine to see for the compression on the spinal cord ,which gives such type of pain.
It is already late - 4 months you say. According to report consult a Neurologist or neurosurgeon ( if there are discs causing this ). Follow their advise.
