Between my big toe and second toe goes numb + back problem?

You may have: Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome which is a nerve compression of the deep peroneal nerve on the top of the foot. Or a radiculopathy from your back.

It is: Possible your back is the problem but there can be many reasons for this. Suggest seeing a podiatrist for diagnosis.
