More often than not, the term sciatica is associated with pain which may pass from the low back down through the buttock and back of the leg, passing as far down as the tips of the toes. However, although pain is the most common complaint from someone suffering with sciatica, numbness and tingling (pins & needles) can also be a symptom.

Some people will experience numbness on an elliptical and others will not--even on the same exact machine. It all depends on the design of the elliptical and if it was meant for you. Sometimes the stride length doesn't fit you correctly, and others you could benefit from articulating foot pedals.

The numbness may not set in until after you've been working out for a long time, or it may set in early but usually you'll be able to identify the onset of the numbness before it feels completely numb. When you start to feel the warning, tingling signals or even way before you even notice that the numbness may be approaching, you can try to move your feet a little bit to prevent or alleviate the numbness.

Tingling or numbness in your affected toes. A burning pain that starts in the ball of your foot before spreading to the affected toes. A feeling of walking on stones, or there being something in the ball of your foot.Symptoms vary from case to case, some sufferers experience regular and persistent pain, whilst others may have occasional attacks over a period of time.

If you are feeling numbness and / or pins & needles, it is important to have this assessed by a health professional. More often than not it is a just a typical symptom of sciatica which can be resolved, however it is best to have it checked first.

Finally, as well as pain, numbness and pins & needles, weakness can be another symptom of sciatica. If the electrical messages are not able to pass to your brain from the skin correctly, numbness and pins & needles may result as explained above. However, it is also possible the messages may not be able to pass the other way. Therefore, if the messages you are sending from your brain to your muscles are not passing along the sciatic nerve 100%, the receiving muscles are not going to work as strongly as they should be, resulting in muscle weakness.

The great toe has two bones in it, with all others having three. Although small, they are classified as long bones, just like an arm or leg. When any bone, especially a long bone, breaks, it is most important to make sure that it is not displaced; otherwise it will not heal properly.

Once you get the x-ray taken, your podiatrist will be able to recommend treatment. If the bone is not displaced, it can be as simple as applying a "buddy splint." This type of splint simply attaches the broken toe to an adjacent digit. This helps to provide compression and stability.
