Hello I had my C/P exam for IU since my back went bad on me. I got the folowing from the C/P exam notes I requested
had a C/P exam for increase of my back (IVDS) ROM lumbar spine flexion with pain 0-30 extnesion with pain is 0-10 lateral flexion right and left with pain 0-12 and roatation right and left with pain is 0-20. (?) gynometer used for measurement
The ROM of the lumbar Spine as measured above is not additionally limited following repative use. (?)
Physical examination: The Lumbar Spine is Positive for grade 2 Spasm and tenderness. Straight leg raises are positve at 20 degrees for nuerological complaints. Left Gastrocnemious is 358cm compared to 42cm on right Gastrocnemious. Dep tendon relfexes are intact. Sensory is dimished in the L4-5 dermatome and gait is antalgic with crutches.
Clinical DIagnostic studies: there is Lumbar Degenarative disk disease with evidenice of Lumbar Radiculopathy.
Diagnosis Degenerative disk disease with Bilateral Lumbar radiculopathy and Gastrocnemius atrophy of the left lower extremity, Muscle group 11 on the right.
I had my back take a turn for the worse and applied. I am scheduled for Disc replacment of 4 disc with Fusion and hardware for my back. I need to know also do they rate me seperatley for the bilateral nerve dammage as well as the Atrophy fo the left leg? I started falling a lot and on top of that my hands are starting to go numb along the finger tips. My Civ nuerologist said it is where the insatability of my lower back is affecting the upper back causing nerve dmaage. As always any ideas fell free to chime in. Have a good day
