Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of compression of nerves due to spinal issue is more likely.
Numbness, pain on dermatome area is characteristic feature of nerve compression.
So get done repeat MRI spine for this.
Physiotherapy, pregabalin and vitamin B12 tablets are helpful instead some cases.
Application of ice packs on affected area is also beneficial.
