 SUBJECTIVE DATA

Chief Complaints: “My lower back has been hurting for about 2 weeks now”.

 History of Present Illness :

Mrs. H is a 26 y/o Hispanic female with a six year history of depressioncontrolled on Sertraline, who presents to the clinic today complaining of

spontaneous occurring acute low back pain to lumber region that started

about 2 weeks ago after wearing heels to a party. Reports it has been very

difficult to dress lower body and to bend. She reports the pain is constant but

has intermittent intensities of aching and soreness throughout the day. The

pain is localized to the lumber area, described as aching and soreness with

no radiation, rated a 5/10 in office today with 3/10 being the lowest amount

of pain experienced and 8/10 being the worst pain she has experienced.

Reports the pain is worse in the mornings when getting out of bed after lying

down all night. She hasn’t tried any pharmacological or non-pharmacological

therapies. She reports no heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, current injuries,

nor feelings of anxiety or depression. However, about 5 years ago she was

riding her bike, went down a ramp and flipped head first over the handle

bars of the bike. At which time she experienced this same low back pain,

went to the ER and had X-rays that showed some inflammation and swelling.

She was then prescribed a muscle relaxant, Ibuprofen, and physical therapy

for 8 weeks, which helped tremendously. At today’s visit, she hopes to find

out where the pain is coming from and what she can do to prevent it from

returning.
