Case 1. Pain of Bottom of Foot
Occasionally, I have the patients who are complaining regarding upon his or her foot pain in my daily practice.
A gentleman had been in clinic for help, regarding upon his pain on his bottom of left foot and right side leg pain along lateral side of lower leg for more than 2 weeks. He reported me that he injured his left foot 7 years ago.
He told me that when he sat down and got up, and then he felt pain there.
When I checked him, he had lots of muscles spasms and inflammation on left side of low back, especially on L4, L5 area, leading to the irritation of Sciatic nerve. This irritation of Sciatic nerve may cause the pain on his foot and his lower leg.
This case is a case of the peripheral neuropathy related with sciatic nerve, especially on L4, L5 nerve.
Usually, this kind of patients are complaining upon the tightness of Hamstring, Calf muscles, and Planta Fascia.
Case 2. Cold, Numb, Tingling Sensation of Lower Leg and Toe
Occasionally, I am seeing these kind of patients at my daily practice. They are suffering above listing symptoms for years without ant results from the various treatments.
Even if she wore double socks, she felts the extreme cold on her toes.
When I checked her lower back, she had lots of tightness on her lower back. I thought that her lower back, especially, on L4,L5 area may cause jamming her Sciatic nerves, leading to cold, numb, tingling sensation of her lower leg and foot. This case is a case of peripheral neuropathy related with Sciatic nerves, especially, L4 and L5.
