Symptoms of a lumbar herniated disc include: Low back pain. Shooting pain from the buttocks to the leg (termed sciatica because the pain travels down the sciatic nerve).

The thoracic region specifies the middle portion of the spine. Myelopathy describes the clinical findings associated with compression of the spinal cord that results in impairment of nerve function and may cause partial or complete paralysis of the lower extremities (paraplegia).

- Lumbosacral Plexopathy. Lumbosacral plexopathy is a relatively rare peripheral nerve problem that results from injury to the lumbar or sacral plexuses. These are interwoven networks of nerves arising from nerve roots in the lumbar spine or the pelvis, respectively.Plexus injury can result from diabetes, tumor, radiation and obstetrical injury. The symptoms of lumbosacral plexopathy depend on the underlying cause and the individual nerves affected.Symptoms can include pain, numbness, tingling, weakness or hypersensitivity. These symptoms do not differ significantly from those associated with peripheral nerve injuries.hese are interwoven networks of nerves arising from nerve roots in the lumbar spine or the pelvis, respectively.

Cervical Osteoarthritis (Cervical Spondylosis) Cervical spondylosis is also called cervical osteoarthritis. It is a condition involving changes to the bones, discs, and joints of the neck. These changes are caused by the normal wear-and-tear of aging. With age, the discs of the cervical spine gradually break down, lose fluid, and become stiffer.f cervical spondylosis results in pressure on the spinal cord (cervical stenosis), it can put pressure on the spinal cord, a condition called cervical myelopathy. Symptoms of cervical spondylosis with myelopathy include: 1  Tingling, numbness, and/or weakness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
