No hx of trauma or physical activities to explain injury.
She’s is reproducibly tender right on this location. I was thinking there was possible oedema. Like most I’m quite foreign to back ultrasound. The referral did say right back pain ?iliopsoas bursitis, so I wasn’t expecting too much to be honest.
She does have a slight curvature of the spine (see x-ray)
Ct results showed nothing at L1:
Conclusion:
* There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge at L4-5 impinging upon the thecal sac and the preemergent L5 nerve roots.
The patient did mention the GP was thinking about doing an MRI as well.
I will chase up the MRI result if she ends up getting scanned.
