Symptoms of nerve root compression include pain, numbness, limited mobility, and other symptoms.
1. Pain: Pain in the innervated area due to nerve root compression, cervical disc herniation can cause radiating pain and pins and needles pain.
2. Numbness: Due to nerve compression, the patient’s innervated area may experience numbness and other sensory abnormalities caused by hyperalgesia.
3. Restriction of activities: some patients may have weakness of limb muscle tissues, which may cause limitation of arm lifting or walking.
4. Other symptoms: If the herniated lumbar disc compresses the cauda equina nerve, it can also cause incontinence, perineal hypesthesia and other symptoms.
Patients with nerve root compression are advised to consult the hospital in time, complete relevant examinations, clarify the degree and location of the compression, and then undergo further treatment.
