What condition occurs when a herniated intervertebral disk compresses a spinal nerve root?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiculopathy: Usually symptoms of pain, numbness, or weakness along the distribution of the nerve being compressed; if it is in the neck it goes into the arm, in the back it travels into the leg.
