Question #29

Which of the following statements is true?

There is no intervertebral disc between C1 and C2. The first disc is therefore C2/3

A prolapsed disc will only cause sciatica if it compresses the sciatic nerve roots. This will cause pain, weakness and numbness in the distribution of the sciatic nerve.
