ACR Case In Point


Test your clinical knowledge with the daily Case in Point program, which gives you the opportunity each weekday to work through a subspecialty case.

CASE OF THE DAY

A 43-year-old woman presents to the back and spine clinic for evaluation of lumbar pain. She has a longstanding 5-year history of off-and-on low-back pain, which she attributes to a lifting incident at work. She has sought treatment and achieved relief through conservative therapy. Her current aggravation began a year prior and is described as constant and throbbing located on her right lumbar region. Additionally, she experiences shooting pains that travel down the back of her right leg to the level of the calf. Standing or sitting for long periods of time exacerbates the pain. Treatment with physical therapy and bilateral sacroiliac joint steroid injections provide no relief. She denies any weakness, paresthesia, and bladder or bowel incontinence.
