Hi, I had gone through your question. The pain that you describe could be related to disc disease if on MR scan was found herniated disc that compresses the nerves on the same side of your pain. I suggest you to discuss the findings of MR scan with a local Neurologist. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
