Patients also frequently report persistent or intermittent pain or dysthesias in posterior hip, buttocks, or thigh.

Similarly, in the case of lumbosacral radiculopathy, a straight leg raise maneuver or a femoral nerve stretch test may demonstrate radiculopathic symptoms down the leg. [3] Deep tendon reflexes (also known as a stretch reflex) may be diminished or absent in areas innervated by a particular nerve root. [citation needed]
