If a nerve is trapped at L2 or L3 or L4 this will affect the femoral nerve (as seen below) and we suffer from femoral nerve impingement which provides both feeling and power to the front of the thigh. Therefore we experience pain in this specific anatomy.
Radiculopathy can be defined as the whole complex of symptoms that can arise from nerve root pathology, including anesthesia, paresthesia, hypoesthesia, motor loss and pain. Radicular pain and nerve root pain can be defined as a single symptom (pain) that can arise from one or more spinal nerve roots.
Radiculopathy describes symptoms produced by the pinching of a nerve root in the spinal column. Sciatica is one of the most common types of radiculopathy and refers to pain that originates in your lower back and travels through your buttocks and down the sciatic nerve – the largest single nerve in the body.
Radiculopathy Treatment Options Medication, such as pain relievers, muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory drugs, to reduce pain and inflammation. Steroid injections or oral steroids to relieve swelling and inflammation around the nerve root. Activity modification to prevent worsening of the pain.
