Subject: Pain management question -

Discogram indicated pain at L4-L5 level which was concordant, but no pain at the L5-S1 level, which seems to be the worst level by MRI.

Injection of local anesthetic at the L5-S1 disc would help to s/l clarify the patient.

because the most important thing is whether or not the pain is radiating down into the extremities. That would be radiculopathy (commonly called sciatica), and it's not a good thing.

CC: Back pain
Subject: CC: Back pain

Thanks for taking the time on this . . .

While the CC: is back pain, the subjective describes . . .

This is an 81-year-old female who, for the last month, has had some intermittent pain next to her right shoulder blade. She is right-handed, and she has been doing a lot of gardening and weed whacking. It does not bother her much during the day, but at night when she sits, and then when she is lying in bed at night, she feels what she describes as a muscle spasm with twinges. She also at times has some diffuse pain from her elbow radiating up to her neck when she “overdoes it”, but that has been going on for quite some time, and she does not feel like that has recently changed.
