What Causes Numbness On Shin?

I have numbness in my left shin, this started about a month ago with pain in my groin and down the front of the quad, I know my body pretty good but this one has me stumped, ive worked out its back related, if I lie on my stomach and place hands shoulder width apart and push to stretch the pain wil intensify, and I get like tiny electric like jolt s around the upper kidney from time to time, I have gravity boots and was using them to relieve symptoms but have had to return to work and can t use them for another week or so, any idea?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case. I think that you may be having disc herniation with nerve compression. It is causing pain in the shin with nerve compression. I would suggest you following.
1. Get MRi of the spine to confirm the diagnosis.
2.Tablet Pregabalin M one daily at night time.
3.Avoid forward bending and weight lifting.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
