Symptoms of Lumbar Radiculopathy

Lumbar radiculopathy is a classic syndrome of lower lumbar nerve root compression. Symptoms include:
  • Low back pain—that may or may not have been associated with some sort of trauma and is commonly antecedent to the onset of leg pain by days to a few weeks.

  • Motor weakness is also seen, but can be missed if dynamic testing is not done.

S1 Radiculopathy Symptoms

  • Pain down the back of the leg and into the heel or foot.
  • Sensory loss, usually over the lateral aspect of the foot.
  • A loss of the Achilles reflex, specific to S1.
  • Weakness in dorsiflexion of the foot.
