A member asked:

What is a lumbar rootlet lesion and would it cause back , hip and leg pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: A true rootlet lesion would involve only apportion of the beginning of the root some tumors are small enough to do this but to give the picture you present would require a significant number of rootlets or the entire root.
