A member asked:
Can the s/1 nerve get inflamed on its own without being pinched?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure it can: Not only S1 but any part of the body can become inflamed without being mechanically compromised as one may think in the conventional sense of being squeezed against something or between 2 other hard surfaces. Infection, metabolic processes, autoimmune processes, medications, radiation, and just BAD LUCK can cause inflammation without being "pinched." Wanna talk more? www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi.
