A member asked:
Whats " displacement of nerve root " for l5-s1 in my spine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Roots: can be displaced or compressed by pathology in and/or around the intervertebral foramina. L5/S1 root displacement can causes lower back, buttock, lateral thigh and anterolateral calf pain. It can also cause specific sensory and strength deficits along its distribution.
