Symptoms of Radiculopathy (pinched nerves)

Symptoms include numbness, "pins and needles" or burning sensations, and pain radiating outward from the injured area. One of the most common examples of a single compressed nerve is the feeling of having a foot or hand "fall asleep" and tingling and or weakness in your arms or legs.

Radiculopathy usually creates pain and numbness that is felt in your arms or your legs in the area of skin supplied by the sensory fibers of the nerve root. It can also manifest as weakness in the muscles that are supplied by the same nerve root. The number of roots that are involved can vary, from one to several, and it can also affect both sides of the body at the same time.
