- 2. Silent Consonant is the letter 'h' which has no role in pronunciation, but as a hint. For example, 1  h comes between c and e as che to keep it a hard c. Otherwise c would be pronounced as t∫ . 2  h also shows history of a word as a help to the speakers of the language.or example, ' 1 e' in English word mate is not pronounced, but it is a hint to contrast it with mat. 2  The same 'e' in Italian pane (bread / pa-ne/) keeps 'a' without hint and is pronounced independently: 'a' like 'a' in English car and 'e' sounds like 'a' in English pay.

Nerve compression Nerve compression: Introduction. Nerve compression is a condition of the nervous system in which a nerve is pressed or compressed. Nerve compression results in abnormal functioning of the nerve. Typical symptoms of nerve compression include numbness, pain, and loss of function of the affected area.The function of the nerves of the body is to transmit sensations and other information from the body to the spinal cord and brain and carry messages back from the brain to the body.There are a variety of conditions that can cause nerve compression and interfere with normal functioning of nerves.ypical symptoms of nerve compression include numbness, pain, and loss of function of the affected area. The function of the nerves of the body is to transmit sensations and other information from the body to the spinal cord and brain and carry messages back from the brain to the body.

Nerve Root Compression Nerve Root Compression. Nerve root compression is one of the most common suspected sources of sciatica. The spinal nerve roots are the structures which branch off the spinal cord, left and right at each vertebral level.These nerves go on to create the entire peripheral nervous system throughout the rest of the anatomy.he many diagnostic terms which may be used to imply a nerve root is possibly affected by a compression condition include: pinched nerve, nerve impingement, nerve effacement, touching a nerve, mass effect upon a nerve, compression of a nerve or displacement or a nerve root.

What is Spinal Stenosis? Pain in the buttocks or leg, which is a common symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis, may be associated with the compression of the microvascular structures carrying blood flow to the nerve roots. At the same time, the symptoms of spinal stenosis may be the direct result of physical compression of the nerve roots.

Symptoms of Multiple Myeloma in the Spine Spinal cord compression may occur when a weakened vertebra or part of the vertebral body breaks or collapses and pushes against the spinal cord. In like manner, a spinal nerve root may be compressed too. Symptoms of myelopathy are termed neurologic, and include weakness, numbness, tingling, or difficulty walking.

- By Michael Perry, M.D. If the space within the spine becomes restricted, either by a degenerative disorder or a congenital condition, the spinal cord and nerve roots may be compressed. Spinal stenosis is generally divided into two subtypes: central spinal stenosis and lateral (foraminal) spinal stenosis.The condition is usually not symptomatic; however, when the spinal cord or nerve roots become compressed or irritated, symptoms such as numbness, weakness and tingling occur in the arms or legs.y Michael Perry, M.D. If the space within the spine becomes restricted, either by a degenerative disorder or a congenital condition, the spinal cord and nerve roots may be compressed.

- Herniated discs usually elicit symptoms on one side of the body as the protruding disc presses on the spinal nerve roots at the corresponding level of the spine. The resulting nerve root irritation (radiculopathy) manifests as pain, numbness, and weakness in the extremity supplied by the affected nerve. Symptoms of a lumbar herniated disc include: 1  Low back pain. 2  Shooting pain from the buttocks to the leg (termed sciatica because the pain travels down the sciatic nerve). 3  Tingling and numbness in the buttock or leg (paresthesias). 4  Weakness in one or both legs.

A Patient's Guide to Cervical Spinal Stenosis As the bone spurs form, the size of the spinal canal becomes smaller. The bone spurs begin to press on the spinal cord or the nerve roots. Pressure on the nerves in the spinal cord can cause numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms, hands, and legs. This condition is sometimes called cervical myelopathy. It is from the simpler problem where only one nerve root is being pinched by a herniated disc or a bone spur.

Sciatica Symptoms Sciatica symptoms vary based on where the compressed nerve root is located. For example: L4 nerve root sciatica symptoms usually affect the thigh. Patients may feel weakness in straightening the leg, and may have a diminished knee-jerk reflex. L5 nerve root sciatica symptoms may extend to the big toe and ankle (called foot drop). Patients may feel pain or numbness on top of the foot, particularly on the web of skin between the big toe and second toe.
