This 56 year-old woman came into the office with lower back pain that shot down the back of her right leg and into her foot. In her consultation she said, “She noticed slight lower back stiffness and discomfort about a year ago and it kept getting progressively worse until 2 weeks ago when the pain started going down her leg.”
She then relates that, “She’s had some lower back pain and stiffness and suffered from frequent constipation and diarrhea for over 10 years.” Which, after getting thousands of dollars in diagnostic tests (CAT scans, lab tests, and colonoscopies), was told that they couldn’t find anything wrong and that she had irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and put her on medications for some symptomatic relief.
