Hello, I have studied your case. Your symptoms suggest possibility of Deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasonography/color Doppler leg will help to rule pathology leading to pain and swelling like deep vein thrombosis. I will advise you to do repeat MRI spine to see for any nerve compression. Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be ruled out; antibiotic can be started according to examination. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
