Burning back pain.right paracentral disc protrusion l3-4 local thecal impingment.strong twitch right foot, now both feet & calves.what is causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Motor fiber involved: Motor fiber irritation is almost certainly the best explanation to what is going on and the disc protrusion you mentioned me very well be more of a disc herniation with impingement or "pinching"of some of those motor fibers that control the ankle and foot muscles. Ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist for further evaluation.
