Right upper thigh numbness
I have numbness in my right upper thigh for the past one and half weeks. MRI report says I've mild to moderate compression on L5- S1. L3-L4 diameter is 0.9, L5-S1 diameter is 0.6. but I don't have any pain on my lower back. I've only numbness in my upper right thigh.
One doctor said that it is sciatica. Another one said it is lumbar disc disease. Another one said meralgia paresthetica that comes because of wearing skinny jeans. Please help me to know the difference between these 3. And what is the correct treatment for my problem.
