What Causes Pain Radiating From Leg To Toes?
I have a pain that starts on my left side in my syiacted that goes down my leg to my toes. I have had this pain since July 24th after I strain my lower back. I have seen my medical doctor and she prescribed gabapentin 100mg three times a day and I also take two ibuprofen every four hours. I also see a chiropractor three times a week for twenty minutes each visit. Nothing seems to help. I am still in a lot of pain I use ice packs and heat pad on and off to help relieve the pain. What can I do to get rid of this pain forever?

Most probably you have ..sciatica.. A condition in which the sciatic nerve is compressed and causes pain.sciatin nerve supply the lower legs and it start fram the spinal cord..
You need assessment ..full general physical exami tion and CT of the back bone to dig the bug.
Better see a neurosurgeon ..
