Chief Complaints: “My lower back has been hurting for about 2 weeks now”.
History of Present Illness:
Mrs. H is a 26 y/o Hispanic female with a six year history of depression-controlled on Sertraline, who presents to the clinic today complaining of spontaneous occurring acute low back pain to lumber region that started about 2 weeks ago after wearing heels to a party. Reports it has been very difficult to dress lower body and to bend. She reports the pain is constant but has intermittent intensities of aching and soreness throughout the day. The pain is localized to the lumber area, described as aching and soreness with no radiation, rated a 5/10 in office today with 3/10 being the lowest amount of pain experienced and 8/10 being the worst pain she has experienced. Reports the pain is worse in the mornings when getting out of bed after lying down all night. She hasn’t tried any pharmacological or non-pharmacological therapies. She reports no heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, current injuries, nor feelings of anxiety or depression. However, about 5 years ago she was riding her bike, went down a ramp and flipped head first over the handle bars of the bike. At which time she experienced this same low back pain, went to the ER and had X-rays that showed some inflammation and swelling. She was then prescribed a muscle relaxant, Ibuprofen, and physical therapy for 8 weeks, which helped tremendously. At today’s visit, she hopes to find out where the pain is coming from and what she can do to prevent it from returning.
