Radicular Pain
March 7, 2008 Posted by
This type of pain usually refers to the shooting extension of pain from the neck or low back. A disc that is pinching part of a root of the sciatic nerve usually sends a shock-like sensation down the nerve along the side or the back
of the leg. This may coexist with numbness in the involved extremity, and, at times, weakness or lack of reflexes can also be seen. Similar types of radicular pain are present in the upper extremities from disease in the spine at the neck.
