I have lower back pain from a accident and I have numbness in feet and numb toes.
I was told by my doctor that the nerve is the problem and I am being treated with a steriod for inflamation and PT for 6 weeks.What can I expect,will the numbness go away and if so how long will it take.I have been 10 weeks without treatment and just recentley recieved treatment for about a week now.
