Leg : Leg pain and numbness is commonly caused by compression of the sciatic nerve in the back. This is called sciatica. Slipped disk or stenosis (tightness) is the most common cause of sciatica. I would recommend seeing your primary care doctor. Treatment includes physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, steroid injections and surgery. Please see my health guide on lumbar disk herniations and sciatica. Good luck!
