Abstract
Ruth is a 64-year-old married attorney who presents with a 7-month history of right-sided lower back and buttock pain. She is being referred to this office by her physical therapist. She had been sent to her physical therapist by her primary care doctor. After 15 sessions of physical therapy, her therapist told her that because she was not making any progress with therapy, she should see a specialist.
