A member asked:
I have grade 2 spondylolisthesis at l5 and nerve root compression at l5 . my doctor says my s1 nerve is also stretched due to my slip, but i have no compression of my s1. can a stretched s1 nerve cause constant twitching in arches of feet/calves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, this is indeed possible. Hopefully, at your age, appropriate therapeutic interventions will prove of value.
