A member asked:
Does lumbosacral clumping of nerves roots cause paralysis? if so how long does it take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially : If you mean by "clumping" is tethering of your spinal cord then yes, progressive lower extremity weakness can occur without treatment. Arachnoiditis which is another type of clumping from prior injections or surgery typically does not but it can lead to chronic nerve pain.
