History of l4, l5 bulges. on road bike for 30 min & both feet tingling bad! getting new mri, but which discs cause tingling in both feet at same time?

Several can: Tingling in both feet can suggest that the lumbar nerves are being irritated or compressed on the left and right side. A disc bulge/herniation or stenosis (narrowing) of the nerve canals on both sides of the spine can cause symptoms in both feet. Radiation to the feet often means L4-L5 or L5-S1.
