Radicular Pain (Sciatica)

What is Radicular Pain?

Radicular pain is a general term used to describe the pain due to an irritated spinal nerve root due to degenerative discs, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and other spinal issues. It is the result of a nerve root in the spine being placed under tension and inflammation, which causes limb pain. In the lower back specifically, it is known as sciatica, which is pain that stretches down the leg. When the pain is in the neck, it can even stretch to your shoulders, and arms and hands.

Symptoms

• Pain down the arm or leg
• Numbness in limbs
• Muscle weakness
• Pain when coughing or sneezing
