Symmetry: Often disc disease starts on one side and then with time the opposite side becomes involved especially if the discussion bulge or protrusion is not affecting the lateral recess but more central.Therefore update your MRI, get an EMG & understand that if the sympathetic nerves are affected, involved extremities can get cold.Start core strengthrning, see a spine surgeon and discuss meds vs injections
