Radiculopathy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radiculopathy is not a specific condition, but rather a description of a problem in which one or more nerves are affected and do not work properly. The nerve or nerves may be inflamed, "pinched," lack blood flow, or may be affected by a disease that is destroying it in part or totally. This can result in pain, weakness, numbness, or difficulty controlling specific muscles.
Forms of Radiculopathy are:
- Cauda equina syndrome
- Cervical Radiculopathy
- Piriformis syndrome
- Paraplegia
- Sciatica
- Quadraplegia
