Different nerve: If you are having problems in the other leg, it would have to be a different "pinched" nerve. However, some rather large, central disc herniations or bilateral narrowing can cause problems on both sides.

Leg pain.: It is strongly recommended for you to obtain a MRI lumbar spine to rule out any disc herniation or spinal cord/nerve root compromise.
