Male , 42 yrs old, complaining of severe, lower (lumbo sacral) back pain which radiated to his left buttock, leg, and foot. This dull pain was intensified during coughing, sneezing and bending. He also experienced muscle spasms in the left leg. There was mild sensory and motor loss in the left buttock and leg as well. I need a diagnosis, major nerve involved, location of nerve, why coughing and sneezing, bending increased dull pain, why sensory loss in left buttock and leg, and finally treatment for individual. thank you, if you need to send this to an e-mail, jhenry@medcentral.edu
