Pinched Nerve Symptoms

The pain affects other areas

Nerves can often be pinched as they leave the neck or the back. Sometimes this is caused by a herniated disc or bone spurs that form from spinal arthritis.

When one has a pinched nerve in the low back, pain will usually radiate down the leg. A pinched nerve in the neck can cause pain to emanate from the neck, through the shoulders, down the arms and into the hands.

Muscle spasms in the back commonly accompany pinched nerves and can cause weakness in the arms or legs. The two most common pinched nerves in the lower back are L5 (lumbar 5) and S1 (sacral 1).
