Neur- is the word root for neuritis, meaning inflammation of a nerve.
yes. the nerves in your body all go to your spine, then to your brain. if this nerve intersects with L3 OR L4, it will inflame the disk. the knees' nerves correspond to your lumbar discs, so the nerve in the knees leads directly to the lumbars and can cause disc inflammation if the pain was extremely great.
A nerve root diverticula is an abnormal outpouching of the spinal nerve root sleeve, which is the covering of the nerve roots as they exit the spinal cord. This can sometimes cause irritation or compression of the nerve root, leading to symptoms such as radiating pain or weakness. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
