I'm a chiropractor in Colorado Springs. What exactly is your question? Numbness in the toes and pain in the leg (past your knee), is typically sciatica. It corresponds to the lower part of your back (lumbar spine) and TYPICALLY involves the nerve roots exiting from the spine at that point. However, it can occasionally be caused by tightness in your piriformis muscle (which is part of your butt). In many, but not all people, the sciatic nerve passes through that muscle. However, it's more common to have a low back involvement. I highly suggest going to a chiropractor.

Dr Whitaker's Guide to Natural Healing has an interesting section on sciatica (check the index). You will probably want to discuss his treatment with your physician; I would not want you to try it on your own.
Some people have gotten relief from sciatica pain by drinking monavie juice.
Magnets may help.

Sounds like sciatica. See a doctor! Numbness may indicate nerve damage.

Have you had these symptoms before? You should see a chiropractor ASAP! A chiropractor will be able to assess your condition and possibly help you without the use of medications that may have negative side effects.

You got issues my friend. I`d see a doctor and a chiropractor awfully soon if I were you.
