polyradiculopathy

Polyradiculopathy is a condition where multiple nerve roots in the spinal cord become compressed or inflamed, impairing their ability to send signals properly. This can lead to symptoms like weakness, numbness, tingling, or pain, often affecting both sides of the body. It can result from various causes such as herniated discs, infections, or autoimmune diseases. The condition disrupts communication between the brain and muscles, affecting movement and sensation. Treatment depends on the cause and may include medications, physical therapy, or surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve roots.
