Is Pain in Big Toe related to Herniated Disks? Posted: 08-18-06 18:29pm


Hi I have protrutions at L4/L5 and L5/S1 can I ask if this would involve my big toe being really painful too? I generally have lower back pain and thigh pain to my knee but more recently getting this really bad pain in my big toe ! It feels like someone has it in a vice! thanks

Pain in the big toe can be caused by the pressure that a herniated disk creates on the roots of the spinal nerves. You can consult a neurosurgeon for treating this condition. If the pressure on nerve lasts too long, it may cause terminal nerve damage (paralysis or numbness). Pain is only a warning against further and more dramatic consequences!!!
