Symptoms of Lumbar Nerve Injuries Symptoms generated from nerve compression in the lumbar spine basically include pain, numbness, paresthesias (pins and needles sensation) and possibly motor weakness. Each nerve demonstrates slightly different symptoms in terms of specific areas of the leg that are involved.

List of Spinal Nerves Overview. In order to categorize the spinal nerves, anatomists divide the vertebral column into four distinct areas, referred to as the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions of the spine. Thirty-one pairs of nerves emerge from the spinal cord. Nerves that exit through openings between the vertebrae are called spinal nerves, while nerves that emerge through openings in the skull are known as cranial nerves.

Failure to Diagnose and Treat Spinal Nerve Root Compression With large disc herniations in the lumbar spine, several nerve roots can be affected. Bilateral radiating pain into the legs, extensive weakness and sensory loss, and a loss of bowel and bladder function is called cauda equina syndrome.

Lumbar Sympathetic Block A lumbar sympathetic block is an injection in the middle of the lower back, toward the left or right side. The “lumbar sympathetic nerves” are a small bundle of nerves that carries “sympathetic” nerve signals from the lower extremities.

Lumbar Sympathetic Nerve Block This can result in a condition known as Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). Symptoms of CRPS include severe burning pain, swelling, and skin color changes. A lumbar sympathetic nerve block is a special test to help your doctor find the cause of your symptoms.

Background Each year, more than 150,000 persons in North America sustain fractures of the vertebral column. Injuries to the thoracolumbar and lumbar spine constitute most of these fractures. The immediate neurologic damage that accompanies the bony destruction results in nearly 5000 cases of paraplegia per year. The mechanisms and severity of injuries reflect a mechanized and risk-taking culture.

Lumbar Herniated Disc - Topic Overview When a herniated disc presses on nerve roots, it can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the area of the body where the nerve travels. A herniated disc in the lower back can cause pain and numbness in the buttock and down the leg. This is called sciatica (say sy-AT-ih-kuh). Sciatica is the most common symptom of a herniated disc in the low back. If a herniated disc isn't pressing on a nerve, you may have a backache or no pain at all.

Lumbar facet syndrome symptoms By Michael Perry, M.D. If you have been diagnosed with lumbar facet syndrome, you may experience symptoms that affect your lower back, buttocks, thighs and, possibly, lower legs and feet. Facet syndrome, also known as spinal arthritis, is a condition in which the layer of cartilage on the facet joints breaks down due to age, injury or repetitive actions.

All about L5-S1 (Lumbosacral Joint) Lumbar Spine Anatomy Video. The base of the spine is made up of the intricate L5-S1 vertebral segment, also called the lumbosacral joint. This spinal segment has several interconnected components, any of which can cause lower back and/or leg pain (sciatica):ciatica Animated Video. 1  There is a nerve that passes from the spinal canal through an opening in the back of the L5-S1 segment and runs down the back of each leg (as part of the large sciatic nerve).

- 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: Low back pain. Shooting pain from the buttocks to the leg (termed sciatica because the pain travels down the sciatic nerve).

Spines.com - Spine Surgery Clinic Since most of your body's support is found in the lower back area, having a strong and stable core is most effective in preventing herniated discs. Common symptoms of lumbar disc herniation include: dull, throbbing, or sharp pain in the lower back and the surrounding areas, numbing or shooting pain in the buttocks, legs, thighs, calves, and feet, loss of motor functions in the lower extremities, sciatica, difficulty walking or sitting up straight, and drop foot walking.

Symptoms of Lumbar Spondylosis The vast majority of people with lumbar spondylosis do not have symptoms or ever develop complications. Symptoms when they do occur often do not develop until late in life. Symptoms can be due to compression of the spinal nerves (nerve roots), resulting in lower back pain and pain that radiates to the buttocks and legs. Lumbar spondylosis may also lead to abnormal growths (bone spurs) on the vertebrae, spinal osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and disability. There can also be lower back stiffness in the morning.

Digestion The peristaltic movement is like that of an inchworm, creating a slow wave of contractions that starts in the esophagus and continues through the rectum. The two muscular layers work in a complimentary fashion to squeeze the food and products of digestion through the digestive tract.

Lumbar Sympathetic Block A lumbar sympathetic block is performed to block the sympathetic nerves that go to the leg on the same side as the injection. This may in turn reduce pain, swelling, color, sweating and other unusual changes in the lower extremity and may improve mobility.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis The vertebrae are the bones that make up the spine. The spinal canal runs through the vertebrae and, in the lower (or lumbar) spine, contains the nerves supplying sensation and strength to the legs. Between the vertebrae are the intervertebral discs and the spinal facet joints. The discs become less spongy and less fluid-filled with age.

How lupus affects the nervous system Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The nerves of the peripheral nervous system control motor responses and sensation, so symptoms of numbness or tingling, or inability to move a part of your body, may be the result of lupus affecting these nerves.

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.

Spinal disc herniation A prolapsed disc in the lumbar spine can cause radiating nerve pain. This type of pain is usually felt in the lower extremities or groin area. Radiating nerve pain caused by a prolapsed disc can also cause bowel and bladder incontinence. Typically, symptoms are experienced only on one side of the body.
