Move radiculitis to Radiculopathy

I suggest radiculitis be moved to Radiculopathy, and Radicular pain be used throughout this article, because, according to Medterms.com, radiculopathy is synonymous with radiculitis. Any objections? Mikael Häggström 06:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Radiation along Dermatomes?

Radicular pain does not radiate along Dermatomes. See D. R. Murphy, E. L. Hurwitz, J. K. Gerrard, and R. Clary, “Pain patterns and descriptions in patients with radicular pain: Does the pain necessarily follow a specific dermatome?,” Chiropractic & Osteopathy, vol. 17, no. 9, pp. 1-9, 2009.

Would you like to correct the article, autonomics? I've filled in this "citation template" with the details of your source.

<ref>{{cite journal |author=Murphy DR, Hurwitz EL, Gerrard JK, Clary R |title=Pain patterns and descriptions in patients with radicular pain: does the pain necessarily follow a specific dermatome? |journal=Chiropr Osteopat |volume=17 |issue= |pages=9 |year=2009 |pmid=19772560 |pmc=2753622 |doi=10.1186/1746-1340-17-9 |url=}}</ref>

Just copy and paste it after your correction, and it will appear as a correctly-formatted footnote when you click "save." It'll look like this:
