When you see this massage therapist please don't let them go crazy on you! All you need is light massage to the lower paraspinal muscles and nothing else!! Please don't let them try and release your glutes or anything because it won't help!

Yeah Scott,I am doing those stretches regularly, no help with the numbness though but its making me comfortable. I still walk strange coz myleft calf hurts while walking :(
Sorry for the delay bro, I was busy with my bro's marriage :) I feel numbness on my feet neat my toes(basically whole feet). I also feel pain like soreness near my left calf and the back side of the joint you can say, that whats makes me walk uncomfortably.Plus I have pain on my left glute( a bit above on the extreme left).
Unfortunately, I think Daniel is right :-(. The type of nerve symptoms you describe is what happens when a nerve is being impinged or pressured. Numbness and pain are not good. I would get an MRI done as soon as you can to identify which lumbar disk(s) are bulging and how bad. It sounds like an L2 or L3. From there you can plan a course of treatment and therapy.

Its okay mate, hope you had a good time and congratulations to him! Have you tried the exercises I gave you?
Spot on John :)
Sorry Dee. I know it sucks, but the sooner you get it checked out the better.
Yes, I have been doing it regularly. Back pain is much less than before but the pinch feel is still there at specific moments but much better than what it was.Only one thing I am confused is for neural mobs.Can u get me a link to it, I tried searching for it but couldnt find anything specific.
Also Is it ok If I incorporate some hip flexor stretches and some hamstring stretches?
Yeah Scott, as soon as I finish this project I will get it checked.
Ok good. Happy to hear that Dee :)
Good, this all means progress. As for the neural mobs I have no link or anything as it came from a set of PT exercises I own. Can I send the image to you another way perhaps? As for the the hip flexor stretching I see no problem but I would avoid the hamstring strecthing as this will irritate the nerve.
Aha Thanks mahnn :) Ok Point taken. thanks for the response :)You are a saviour
And yes you can mail me the image deep.16shah@me.com :)
