Question

what condition causes leg pain after a bending and lifting moi, with sensory loss in the foot?
spondylosis
lumbar stenosis
lumbar radiculopathy
cauda equina syndrome

Explanation:

• Spondylosis is degenerative spine change, not linked to acute lifting/bending injury with foot sensory loss.
• Lumbar stenosis causes pain with standing/walking, not acute lifting trauma.
• Lumbar radiculopathy often occurs after bending/lifting (straining nerve roots), causing leg pain and foot sensory loss.
• Cauda equina syndrome is a severe emergency with widespread lower body deficits, not isolated leg pain/foot sensory loss from this mechanism.

Answer:

Lumbar radiculopathy
