The "something" may be nerve root compression; it would make sense if that's what you were told.
The effects of compression can be: radiculopathy; paresthesia (numbness, tingling, feeling of pins and needles).... and I'm sure others will add more insights.

I found out it was root displacement. Thanks for the response, just trying to do a little homework before I see the Doc.
