Degenerative discs irritating nerves, causing foot numbness

Hi, I might have some thoughts on this for you, but first a couple questions. Did you determine that the discs may be causing the foot issues on your own? Or did a specialist suggest it. And how was the fact that there's no compression came to? Thanks

A specilaist thinks it is chemical irritation.
MRI shows no nerve compressuion, but a lot of disc degen,
at the 2 lowest lumbar levels.
A long wlk makes numbness somewhat less, but for only a day or 2.

MRI shows no nerve compression, but some of the nerves look inflamed/enlarged.
radiculopathy started right after an incident where degen discs were squashed.
