A member asked:
Pain on the back of heel to touch with numbing in surrounding area( leg weakness at times and low back annular tear l5s1 w/disc protrusion) related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably yes.: Disc protrusion at that level can cause compression and damage to the sensory and motor nerves that supply the leg. Ask your doctor for a referral to an orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon.
