- The pain may radiate down the front, side, or back of your leg, or it may be confined to the low back.
- The pain may become worse with activity.
- Occasionally, the pain may be worse at night or with prolonged sitting such as on a long car trip.
- You may have numbness or weakness in the part of the leg that receives its nerve supply from a compressed nerve.
- This can cause an inability to plantar flex the foot. This means you would be unable to stand on your toes or bring your foot downward. This occurs when the first sacral nerve is compressed or injured.
- Another example would be the inability to raise your big toe upward. This results when the fifth lumbar nerve is compromised.

Neck pain
What are other symptoms that are associated with neck pain?
Neck pain is commonly associated with dull aching. Sometimes pain in the
neck is worsened with movement of the neck. Other symptoms associated
with some forms of neck pain include numbness, tingling, tenderness,
sharp shooting pain, fullness, difficulty swallowing, pulsations, swishing sounds in the head, dizziness or lightheadedness, and
lymph node (gland) swelling.
Neck pain can also be associated with headache, facial pain, shoulder pain,
and arm numbness or tingling (upper extremity paresthesias). These
associated symptoms are often a result of nerves becoming pinched in the
neck. For example, compressing the nerve of sensation to the back of
the head, which comes out of the neck, causes headaches in the back of
the head. Depending on the condition, sometimes neck pain is accompanied
by upper back and/or lower back pain, as is common in inflammation of the spine from ankylosing spondylitis.
