Treatment was Ibuprofen, tramadol & norflex. Dr. then took me off norflex beause it was making me dizzy and put me on prednisone. 2 days ago got severe pain and numbness on left side-buttocks radiating down leg. I slipped & fell on ice 2 months ago and fell on left hip- had pain for about 2 weeks. Would recent thoracic injury to right side cause left side lumbar pain? Can MRI deterime old or new injury

I have two disk that have a tear it also causes me pain in my hip and leg.
Pain Dr. said that the disk have neaves that has grown in them that causes the pain and also the material that is in them also causes pain when it comes out.
