General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi welcome to the health care magic

Yes it can be pain as a result of compressed nerve

Your neurological examination has to be done to look for neuropathy

Diabetes and B12 deficiency also has to be ruled out

If bulging disc suspected compressing nerve than MRI investigation useful for appropriate diagnosis and management

Take care

Consult physician for examination
