Calf pain when lumbar numbness is possible to injure the nerve, but not absolute. Lumbar numbness is usually associated with lumbar disc herniation and lumbar muscle strain, and when the condition worsens and involves the nerves, resulting in compression of the nerves, it can cause radiating pain. Symptoms may radiate to the calves, thighs or buttocks, causing calf pain. If the nerve damage cannot be fully recovered, it will keep hurting. Calf pain caused when lumbar numbness, if the nerve is injured, the patient may have symptoms such as limb stiffness, abnormal sensation, and so on, which will affect the normal activities in serious cases, and the local perception will slowly disappear, which may ultimately lead to complete paralysis of the limbs.

If the nerve is damaged, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
