The symptoms associated with radiculopathy may include pain, muscle control difficulities, tingling and numbness and weakness in the arms and legs. Pain is typically the common denominator when discussing radiculopathy, and one of the common manifestations of this is sciatica. This may be called lumbar radiculopathy (lumbar refers to the abdominal region of the torso). Pain, however, is not limited to this area, and may vary in location, severity, and in other ways

Causes

Radiculopathy causes may involve pinched or inflamed nerves which do not receive proper blood flow, herniated discs applying excessive pressure to the nerves, bone spurs from a degenerated disc, or even a disease damaging the nerves.
