Q: what would cause a stiff numbing feeling from the outside of your calf to your toes? no pain and aches?

: First on my list would be a peripheral nerve impingement somewhere in the leg. Another possibility is a bulging disk in the lower spine on the left side. If this symptom persists, I advise consulting a neurologist for evaluation &amp; advice. Appropriate testing such as MRI of the spine and an EMG will be ordered depending upon the evaluation.
