Abstract

Pain in lower extremities is one of the key symptoms of lumbar radiculopathy. The level of lesion and the severity of compression of the radix are determined by its nature. The severity of pain syndrome is taken into account to make a decision on performance of surgery. The severity of radix pain in radiculopathy was compared with the data of lumbar spine tomography.
