• Osteophyte

  Bone spurs Also called osteophytes, these are bony projections that develop along a bone’s edge and can compress nearby nerves. [sciatica.com]

  Some of the more common conditions include disc herniation, bone spurs (osteophytes), and thickening of surrounding ligaments. [spinesolutionsfl.com]

  Lumbar Radiculopathy Causes Lumbar radiculopathy may occur when the spinal nerve roots are irritated or compressed by one of many conditions, including lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, osteophyte formation, spondylolithesis, foraminal stenosis [emoryhealthcare.org]

  […] radiculitis is sciatica – radicular pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve from the lower spine to the lower back, gluteal muscles, back of the upper thigh, calf, and foot as often secondary to nerve root irritation from a spinal disc herniation or from osteophytes [en.wikipedia.org]

• Peripheral Neuropathy

  Radiculitis must be carefully diagnosed from peripheral neuropathies as they can often mimic each other. Clinical examination, X-rays or MRIs, Nerve Conduction Velocity testing and EMGs may be necessary in determining the origin. [portchiro.com]

  Peripheral neuropathy is the damage of the peripheral nervous system, such as carpal tunnel syndrome that involves trapped nerves in the wrist. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

  A well-known example of peripheral neuropathy is carpal tunnel syndrome. One spinal condition that is known to cause peripheral neuropathy is spinal stenosis. [verywellhealth.com]

  Also patients with tumor, synovial cyst, other intradural or extradural lesions, and peripheral neuropathy were excluded. [ajnr.org]

• Neurologic Manifestation

  Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) can cause radiculo-myelitis as a neurological manifestation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Herein we present a unique case of Lyme disease with neurologic manifestations including both radiculitis and meningitis due to its atypical and challenging clinical presentation and management with updated literature review. [pagepress.org]

• Dizziness

  The main symptoms of radiculitis: persistent or intermittent pain in the lumbar region or in the back; movement stiffness and gait disorder; increased diaphoresis; burning or pricking sensation at the site of the pain effect; sometimes there is dizziness [doctorpro.ua]

Other hypotheses and the consequences on treatment are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Non-Surgical Often, radiculitis treatment can be accomplished through the treatment of the condition that is causing it. [spinecentersofamerica.com]

Which Treatment is Right for You? Proper radiculitis treatment involves dealing with the underlying problem that’s causing it. [comprehensivespinepain.com]

The studies indicated that leakage of chemical mediators or inflammatory cytokines, which are produced in the painful disc, into epidural space through annular tear could lead to injury to adjacent nerve roots, and it might constitute the primary pathophysiologic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Strict control of blood sugar may prevent nerve damage in people with diabetes. In the case of shingles, there is some evidence that antiviral drugs and a herpes zoster virus vaccine can prevent neuralgia. [theneurologyclinic.net]

What Can I do to Prevent Radiculitis? To prevent radiculitis, focus on avoiding lifestyle choices that can degenerate the spine’s structure. Some examples of this include heavy lifting, poor posture and repetitive activities or motions. [orthopedicandlaserspinesurgery.com]
