A member asked:
Lower disc pops out. recently caused my left pinky toe to go numb. back is back to normal and pain free but toes is still numb. physical or emotion?

Physical: the discs in the spine can press on nerves that go all the way to the feet. A nerve compression can result in a "bruise" to the nerve with left over symptoms that can last several months until the nerve recovers.
