Hi,
Yes. That MRI report mentioned the exact cause of your numbness and loss of peripheral sensations. You will get slow recovery in that over the period of months by doing proper physiotherapy. Keep regular followup with your neurologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
