Low back pain radiating to leg

Age 40 years, female. For the last 2 months, I have been experiencing sudden electric shock-like sensations from the lower back down to both legs. It happens occasionally and is associated with severe pain. I also feel tingling and numbness in the legs, and both legs often feel heavy. I do not have any known drug allergy.

If you have any idea CT came normal , he asked to get EEG done Any chance of it recurring again? Also Dr prescribed epilex chrono 300 twice a month, is it safe to take?

Numbness in finger

I’ve been experiencing numbness in a specific area of my index finger for a little over 24 hours. The numbness is localized to the lower part of the finger (closer to the base/palm side), rather than the entire finger. There hasn’t been any obvious injury, swelling, or discoloration. I don’t have pain, but the sensation hasn’t improved since it started. It's not fully numb.. there is some sensation but it's not completely normal. Does anyone know what could be the reason? Is this something serious? I'd be grateful for any insights on the matter. Thank You.
