A CT scan can provide detailed images of the spine and surrounding structures, which may help identify conditions that could cause a pinched nerve, such as herniated discs or bone spurs. However, it is not the most effective method for directly visualizing nerves themselves. MRI is generally preferred for assessing soft tissue and nerve-related issues. If a pinched nerve is suspected, a healthcare provider may recommend an MRI for a more accurate diagnosis.

The pain jets up my back and down my right leg to my knee it is in my right hip chief area of Pain is this arthritis or a piched nerve?

You are expierencing what many wrongly claim as a pinched nerve. its not pinched at all. What is going on is that you have a nerve that is touching some sort of protrusion such as a disc. The nerve touches it and then sends what feels like an electrical schock down your leg, sometimes all the way to your tippy toes, sometimes stopping at your knee. either way, it hurts like hell. DO NOT go to a chipropractor. Go to a orthopedic Doctor only..get well

Can a pinched nerve cause muscle loss?

Yes, a pinched nerve can cause muscle loss. When a nerve is compressed, it can lead to reduced nerve signal transmission to the affected muscles, resulting in weakness and atrophy over time. This muscle loss occurs because the muscles are not receiving the necessary stimulation to maintain their size and function. Prompt treatment of the pinched nerve is essential to prevent long-term damage and muscle loss.
