What Causes Severe Pain In Buttocks And Numbness In Leg?

Hi doc, I have severe pain in my right buttocks and numbness in my left leg right down to my toes. When I walk it feels like a band is tightening around my upper leg and prevents me from walking normally. I had two incidents where my legs just caved in. Tenderness and back pain.
