Spinal conditions affecting the L2. A nerve root that is compressed, or âpinched,â at the L2 level of the lumbar vertebrae can cause pain at the site of the compression, as well as discomfort, tingling, numbness or muscle weakness that radiates to the quadriceps (front of the thigh).he L2 shares many characteristics with the L1, including long, wide pedicles, a square-shaped spinous process and neural passageways larger than those found in the cervical and thoracic regions of the spine. The L2 is slightly larger than the adjoining L1 and slightly smaller than the L3 below.
