Kristen Hughes, PA-C, explains that this type of pain can be a sign of radiculopathy, caused by pressure on a spinal nerve. It is often described as electric, burning, or accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness.

Kristen is part of the neurosurgery team at Semmes Murphey Clinic, working alongside Chris Nickele, MD, and Andrew Boucher, MD, to help patients understand what’s causing their pain and determine the right next step.
