If you have numbness then you need to see a doctor again; sooner rather than later. Numbness is a sign of the nerve being compressed. The fact it is in the other leg than the one you usually have a problem with may indicate that the disc has 'shifted' or you may have a separate problem. If you have any numbness around the 'back passage' or any problems passing water then please seek help immediately. Take care and good luck.
i had same prob then i started going to see a chiropractor I'm OK now but i still go every two months just to make sure it doesn't return it only costs
