Symptoms of radiculitis

Sciatica is not a separate disease, but a consequence of pathological changes in the spine. Depending on the location of the lesion, the symptoms change. However, the main one remains sharp shooting pain, which limits mobility and significantly worsens the quality of life.

Other symptoms of radiculopathy:

Back pain, radiating to the leg

Neck pain, radiating to the arm (sometimes the ear or eye)

Chest pain, radiating to the vertebrae, heart area

Skin sensitivity disorder at the site of the lesion

Pain intensifies during movement.

During an attack of sciatica, a person becomes helpless - it is difficult for him to straighten up or make any movements. Therefore, intensive therapy is aimed at relieving pain and reducing the severity of other symptoms. If the problem is not treated, acute sciatica will turn into chronic, which is much more difficult to treat and can lead to disability.
