Had Car Accident. Toe Numbing. Related?

I got whiplash from a suv running into me at 38mph six days ago and about 4days ago have noticed my right toe on the left side has had a numbing sensation and I m concerned they might be related. Is this possible and what type of doctor should I have take a look at it. I also want to add that at the time of the accident my lower back near tail bone was extremely sensitive. Thank you and I look forward to your reply

welcome to HCM!

I have read your query carefully and from my clinical experince I can say that you should see a neurologist, get a scan of your spine.
The problems you mentioned and the accident seem to be related.

So, please fix an appointment with the doctor and get your self examined.

#### Avoid any strenuous movement, avoid pulling weight, and bending to much till you seek treatment.
Only after proper tests, one can give appropriate drugs.

Hoep you get well soon
