Resumo

umbar radiculopathy is a common diagnosis for patients who present with low-back pain and leg pain, typically along a particular dermatome.This pain is commonly associated with a lumbar disc herniation.The prognosis is usually favorable, and the symptoms can resolve spontaneously over time.In patients in whom leg and back symptoms are severe, lumbar epidural (cortico)steroid injections are good options for the short to medium-term management of pain.
