L4/L5/S1 are the levels that go to the foot. Based purely on the Mri findings I would say that it doesn't look terrible, but also your symptoms are classic neuritic (nerve) symptoms.

Nerve issues in the leg/ankle could also be a possibility. Tarsal tunnel could potentially lead to your symptoms, other than the burning thigh.

I have quite a lot of patients that have "normal" EMGs that 10/10 doctors would diagnose with neuropathy based on physical exam

thanks for the feedback. EMG was pretty much all within range when compared to the "standard'. I thought it was odd that they only tested the "bad" leg and not the good one to be able to compare them to one another. maybe that isn't standard practice.
tarsal tunnel could play a part but not sold on it as i had no pain in foot or leg just overall muted sense of feel, slap /drop foot feeling when walking or running and the weird sensation that my shoe is on wrong.
