What Do Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Left Leg Indicate?

I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative arthritis, degenerative disc disease, to name a few. I had surgery to fix a herniated disc 3 years ago. I had slight nerve damage down my left leg and foot. I have been doing pretty good but recently I am experiencing weakness, slight numbness and tingling down my left leg and foot when I stand and sometimes when I sit. It s not painful. It s weird feeling. It feels like my leg is going to come out from under me. My question is, do you think I have another disc bulging or is this left over from the nerve damage before the back surgery? Thank you for your input.

Hello,
It appears from your description, that these are new symptoms and in that case less likely to be the residual. So I think these should be evaluated and should have another MRI planned. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
