Re: Back Pain

Hi roycar,
Why x-ray? No red flags present and no history of trauma. Is an x-ray really going to change the way this patient is managed? This is a classic mechanical type of low back pain with no worrying features. Encourage a return to normal activity.
The history of a groin problem and L3/4 is interesting. I agree unlikely to have anything to do with sciatic nerve. Did you test Femoral nerve?
