Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in back of leg can be due to muscle cramps or sciatic nerve compression. This can happen due to electrolyte imbalance or Vitamin B 12 deficiency. The numbness at the bottom of the foot is due to a nerve compression. This can be diagnosed by an MRI scan of the lower spine and a few blood tests. Do consult a physician and get the tests done for proper diagnosis. Proper supplements can help you.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
