Question

question 18 (2 points) listen which symptoms indicate lumbar nerve root compression? saddle anesthesia, incontinence unilateral sensory loss, acute low back pain diffuse stiffness, no sensory loss bilateral weakness, chronic pain view hint for question 18

Explanation:

Lumbar nerve root compression typically presents with unilateral (one-sided) symptoms because individual nerve roots are affected, often alongside acute low back pain that radiates. Saddle anesthesia and incontinence are signs of cauda equina syndrome, not typical nerve root compression. Diffuse stiffness without sensory loss is not specific to this condition, and bilateral weakness with chronic pain does not match the usual unilateral, acute presentation of lumbar nerve root compression.

Answer:

Unilateral sensory loss, acute low back pain
