If you have lesion in thecal sac at l4 and weakness in muscles of neck w/ spasms of right neck muscle, and feeling of pressure in vessels of neck, plus weakness at neck base, could it all be related?

Unlikely : L4 is in low back lumbar area. This would not affect the neck. You need to see your physician and then get this clarified.

No: I'm not sure if i understand correctly (whether there was a typo) but an L4 lumbar nerve issue should not have any bearing on neck symptoms. To clarify however - what is the thecal sac "lesion?".

Not likely: You need to have your neck evaluated also.Also need a good examination and a better diagnosis. Gbr.
