L5-S1 IVD herniation would affect sensation in the anterior and lateral aspects of the leg and foot. The muscles (motor) generally affected are the ones responsible for the ability to stand on your toes(S1) and to lift your foot(L5) while walking on the heel of your foot. You may have had pain radiate from your back, down your posterior thigh and into your leg, which is common.
Steve stated his symptoms are localized to his thigh and are sensory only in nature.
That area is supplied by nerves higher in the lumbar plexus, specifically in the area he described, L2,L3.
Meralgia Parasthetica is a neurological condition of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve(L2,L3) that MAY explain his sense of vibration in the described area.
The LFC nerve has no motor content(sensory only) and without motor/muscle dysfunction would be a logical rule/out.
