1. S1 (Sacral Nerve 1)

Pain Area: Back of the thigh, calf, to the outer side of the foot and little toe.

Symptoms: Numbness, tingling, or weakness in that area. It can cause difficulty when standing on tiptoes.

2. L5 (Lumbar Nerve 5)

Pain Area: Outer side of the thigh and calf, top of the foot, to the big toe.

Symptoms: Difficulty lifting the big toe or ankle upwards (foot drop).

3. L4 (Lumbar Nerve 4)

Symptoms: Pain when sitting for long periods, weakness when straightening the knee.
