  • Summary

  • A 55-year-old man with a BMI of 40%, with the chief complaint of low back pain for the past two weeks. He describes the pain as originating in the lumbar sacral region, with radiation across the left buttock associated with numbness and tingling sensation in his left leg. The pain is worse with sitting and somewhat better with standing. He denies lower extremity weakness or a change in bowel or bladder function. He states, “I've tried ice, heat and ibuprofen and these just take the edge off. I've had back pain like this in the past. Usually just lasts a couple of days and it's not that bad. I'm going to try that again and it's not this bad.” This history of present illness is most consistent with:

    A. Lumbar Radiculopathy

    B. Spinal Stenosis

    C. Vertebral Fracture

    D. Lumbar Sacral Strain
