What is a cure for bad nerve root pain in the leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need MRI of spine: Lumbosacral neuralgia, or "back pain, " should be examined clinically, then assessed with imaging, namely mri. If one harbors a herniated disc, then either a neurosurgeon or orthopaedic spine surgeon can manage the issue.
