What Causes Back Pain And Tingling Sensation On The Thigh?
I have moderate to severe back pain most of the time my MRI shows arthritic spur complexes, slippage of L4 on to L5, central canal stenosis, numbness,tingling, and burning on side of right thigh. Already had my ACDF at C6/7. Bulging duc at C2-5 Is this something that would assiust me with disability. Have a desk job and unable to get up much. Hurt so had when I go home I take pain meds and go to bed.

Hello,
As per your symptoms and MRI findings,I suggest you to do back exercises and take precautions like not lifting heavy weights ,bending forward etc.
A dose of epidural steroid injection might be helpful and if not relieved , may need to consult spine surgeon for a decision regarding surgery
Hope this helps
