A member asked:
Hi doctors, can you tell me what is s1 nerve root compression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
S1 compression: S1 nerve root compression usually comes from a herniated l5/s1 disc. It causes pain in the back of the leg, decreased plantar flexion and decreased ankle reflex. Hope that helps.
