Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve becomes irritated or compressed. Depending on the affected area, symptoms may include pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels into the arms or legs.
A cervical disc herniation occurs when a disc in the neck shifts or protrudes and irritates nearby nerves. Symptoms may include neck pain, arm pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.
A lumbar disc herniation affects a disc in the lower back and may place pressure on nearby nerves. It can cause lower back pain, leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of spaces within the spine that can place pressure on nerves. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking.
Spondylolisthesis occurs when one vertebra shifts forward over the vertebra below it. Some patients experience lower back pain, stiffness, leg symptoms, or nerve-related discomfort.
Thoracic pain affects the middle or upper back and may be related to spinal conditions, muscle strain, injury, or other causes.
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage associated with diabetes. It commonly affects the legs and feet and may cause numbness, tingling, burning pain, or changes in sensation.
Peripheral neuropathy affects nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, burning pain, sensitivity, or weakness, often in the hands or feet.
Post-herpetic neuralgia is persistent nerve pain that can remain after shingles. The affected area may continue to feel painful, sensitive, or irritated even after the rash has resolved.
Post-laminectomy syndrome refers to persistent or recurring pain following spine surgery. Symptoms may involve the back, neck, arms, or legs depending on the underlying condition and previous procedure.
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy, also known as complex regional pain syndrome, is a chronic pain condition that may develop after an injury or procedure. Symptoms can include ongoing pain, sensitivity, swelling, and changes in skin temperature or appearance.
