Your symptoms are due to herneation of lower spine but why imbalance your Orthopedic surgeon will guide you better. Why gabapin is being prescribed may be you some other problem too.you must ask you doctor and tell your problem .
hello.
disc at L45 can cause numbness in the leg but not in the arm. This is due to compression of the nerve supplying your leg, due to the herniated disc.
You may have a similar problem in the neck (cervical spine).MRI of the cervical spine well confirm this.
