Non-inflammatory abnormality of a spinal nerve in the spinal canal or neural foramen resulting in neurological deficit.
Pain and neurologic deficit caused by injury to a nerve root.
Refers to injury or damage in the nerve roots that is manifested by muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, pain, etc.
Pain, and other symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness in your arms or legs that are caused by a problem with your nerve roots.
Sometimes referred to as a pinched nerve, it refers to compression of the nerve root--the part of a nerve between vertebrae. This compression causes pain to be perceived in areas to which the nerve leads.
A disturbance of function or pathologic change in one or more nerve roots.
Pain in the distribution of a single nerve. Manifested usually as arm or leg pain. Typically from a herniated disc in the back or neck; aka "pinched nerve." Click on the image to open it in a new window.
Nerve pain in the leg or arm which may be amenable to local treatments such as steroid blocks.
The irritation of a nerve root at any level of the spine, often caused by compression of the root.
arm or leg pain being caused by nerve impingement or irritation.
refers to any disease affecting the spinal nerve roots. Also used to describe pain along the sciatic nerve that radiates down the leg.
Sometimes referred to as a "pinched nerve", radiculopathy is caused by the compression of a nerve root by a herniated (displaced) disc, by inflammation of the nerve root, or by degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. Radiculopathy may be manifest as pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness involving the upper or lower extremity.
Impairment of a nerve root, usually causing radiating pain, numbness, tingling or muscle weakness that correspond to a specific nerve root.
Any disease of the nerve roots; can be caused by disk prolapse, arthritis, and other problems.
Dysfunction of a nerve root that can cause (1) numbness or tingling in a specific pattern corresponding to that nerve root or (2) muscle weakness in the muscles supplied by that nerve, or (3) loss of reflex associated with that nerve.
Irritation and inflammation of one of the nerve roots in the vicinity of the spinal column.
Dysfunction of a nerve root often caused by compression of the root. Pain, sensory impairment, weakness or depression of deep tendon reflexes may be noticed in the distribution of nerves derived from the involved nerve root.
a disorder of a nerve root.
Nerve root irritation which is caused by either compression of the nerve root where it emanates from the spinal cord area or from a stretch injury or inflammation of the nerve. This causes symptoms in the area that the nerve root supplies in the extremity. This may occur in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine area and involve any of these nerve roots.
Disease of one or more spinal nerve roots.
pinched nerve usually from a herniated, or slipped, disk; can cause a shooting pain often described as an electrical feeling.
