Pain from the hip down to the toes is often due to Sciatica. You can try rest, avoid heavy lifting, use a hot pack, and do gentle stretching exercises. Muscle relaxants may help if needed. If the pain is severe or persistent, consult a doctor. Physiotherapy is often very helpful, and in some cases, further treatment may be required.
