Numbness in foot down to toe and pain in other toe

Does anyone know if pain in your foot down to your toe is coming from lumber problems and also numbness.

I have numbness in my left foot down the side to my big toe and on the other foot pain in exactly the same position.

Its making it hard to walk?

I've had two previous lumber fusions and two cervical fusions.

Thanks

Have you seen a Dr. about this? If not that is going to be your best bet to know for sure. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi, Like J.J. said, it could

Hi,

Like J.J. said, it could be. See this link for a dermatone chart, shows nerve pathways for the spine, you can compare this to your symptoms & spine history. In any case, I also believe you should address this w/ your doctor. Hope this helps.
