A member asked:

Work on my feet for 13 hrs. after my shift laying down my left foot went numb. happens also when i sot down after 5 mins back is tight also pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numbness: It appears you have a nerve root entrapment most likely at L4,5 and possibly S1,2 on your left side. Try applying ice to your low back. Supportive shoes are important. You may want to see a back specialist.
