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.
