AB  - Limb  pain,  diminished  sensation  (numbness),  altered  sensory  perception  (paresthesias  and  dysesthesias)  and  impaired  function  due  to  weakness  are  exceedingly  common  complaints  in  the  practice  of  medicine.  Many  individuals  with  one  or  more  of  these  symptoms,  particularly  pain  in  isolation,  have  musculoskeletal  problems.  Some  of  these  individuals  may  have  sensory  symptoms  as  well.  Although  this  suggests  nerve  involvement,  it  is  not  uncommon  to  be  unable  to  find  objective  evidence  of  nerve  pathology  particularly  if  the  sensory  symptoms  are  intermittent  and  vague  in  their  anatomic  distribution.  By  the  same  token,  many  of  these  patients  have  the  perception  of  weakness  that  may  result  from  limitations  imposed  by  pain.  Not  uncommonly,  however,  patients  with  complaints  of  limb  pain,  sensory  symptoms,  and  altered  function  will  have  focal  nerve  injuries  affecting  the  nerve  roots,  lumbosacral  plexus,  or  individual  peripheral  nerves,  the  subject  matter  of  this  chapter.
