Mrireadsc3-4 disc herniation stenosis with ap of 0.7cm? indention on spinal cord. could this cause left leg weakness from the hips down

Potentially: If spinal cord becomes severe enough, it can start to affect the legs, although there are other potential causes. Either way, I would be seen in follow up immediately.
