History l4/l5 disc bulges. 2 lumbar punctures for meningitis, aggravated it. after road biking, bad tingling in both feet. did biking injure me more?

Probably not: Disc bulge usually cause one sided nerve impingement, mostly, but both side is possible if bulge is severe enough. Mostly the symptoms you experience with disc bulge is radiating pain going down your legs, numbness and tingling in your leg and not just in your feet. If you are having tingling at the bottom of the feet, there may be a component of neuropathy. Check with your doctor or econsult.
