You may have: a nerve entrapment or impingement syndrome locally, like at the back, hip or thigh level. I'm assuming your MRI is of the thoracic and/or lumbar spine, not the leg. If your MRI was of the leg, then it likely would be normal. You may need to see a neurologist to properly diagnose and treat your neuropathy or myelopathy. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
