Limb Pain & and Pinched Nerves

Description:

Sciatica (sciatic neuritis, sciatic neuralgia, or lumbar-sacral radiculopathy) is caused by a pinched nerve root as it makes its way from spinal canal towards the lower extremity. It can also occur in the cervical region, where symptoms would involve the upper extremities. Features including pain that may be caused by compression or irritation of one of spinal nerve roots or their vascular supply (blood flow). Symptoms include lower back pain, buttock pain, and pain, numbness or weakness in various parts of the leg and foot. Other symptoms include pins and needles or tingling and difficulty in moving or controlling the lower limbs. When the problem occurs in the cervical region, similar complaints involve the upper extremities. Typically, the symptoms are only felt on one side of the body. While healing can occur spontaneously, in some cases that are not treated promptly the pressure on the nerve roots can result in long-term or irreversible impairment (numbness or weakness). Fortunately, when timely diagnosis and treatment are available, the pressure can be relieved, while the inflammatory storm is kept at bay and improved blood flow allows the natural healing process to occur, especially when promoted by gradual rehabilitation exercises.
