Hello,
Thank you for your query to DoctorSpring.com
You mentioned that you have 2 pinched nerves. How did you come to find out about it? An MRI is commonly done determine the source for compression of your nerves producing the back pain and numbness of your thigh. Therefore if you haven’t obtained one already, I would recommend you to get one done so that a cause can be found out. Depending on the cause for eg. Disc prolapse according management can be suggested to take care of the problem pinching your nerves. A pain specialist can help, but if there is an anatomical cause then fixing that problem would help you better long term.
With regards to your numb thigh, just be watchful while your problem is being evaluated. If your skin is not sensitive to touch, temperature your body will not be aware if some harmful stimulus is applied to your thigh.
Hope this helps, feel free to discuss further

My chiropractor did x-ray which showed the pinched nerves. I have numbness burning and sometimes pain in my thigh. Should I still have mri?
Hello,
Yes, in my opinion, MRI would be a better option as it would identify the exact source of compression of the nerves.
Once you have the MRI, I can guide you further.
Regards.
