Talked to my excellent physiotherapist colleagues.
They tell me that nerve roots can exit at a foremen 3 levels above or below where they exit the spinal cord.
This is from perhaps the:
Textbook of pain.
Perhaps Butler's texts.
It's great to have confirmation of this. When working at Dr Sherwood's I often found they the sore spinal level did not correspond to the affected textbook dermatome, but often related to one above or below.
I'll try to find the reference now.
Katherine has kindly lent me her Textbook of Pain.
