When the nerves get impinged in the (lumbar) foramen, you're going to have pain, tingling, zapping, and numbness in the lower extremities.
If it starts higher up in the cord, it will effect the arms. You'll have the same, i.e. tingling, zapping, numbness & pain. In the lumbar, I'd sometimes get an "itchy" feeling too, which felt kind of weird. LOL Does any of this sound familiar?
