Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Definition. Lumbosacral radiculopathy is a broad term referring to a range of symptoms associated with the nerves of the lumbosacral plexus in the lower back.The lumbosacral plexus encompasses the nerves that exit the spinal cord at the lumbar, sacral and coccygeal regions of the spine.ow do I know if I have lumbosacral radiculopathy? If a nerve within the lumbosacral region is compressed, it can produce symptoms that include localized pain, pain that radiates down the lower back and into the legs and feet, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness.
Radiculopathy refers to a set of conditions in which one or more nerves are affected and do not work properly (a neuropathy). The location of the injury is at the level of the nerve root (radix = root). This can result in pain (radicular pain), weakness, numbness, or difficulty controlling specific muscles. In a radiculopathy, the problem occurs at or near the root of the nerve, shortly after its exit from the spinal cord. However, the pain or other symptoms often radiate to the part of the body served by that nerve. For example, a nerve root impingement in the neck can produce pain and weakness in the forearm.
