Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition | |||||
The patient had disabling abdominal and back pain issues for years long before presenting to this health care provider. Due to the patient's severe back pain which radiated down the right leg with no relief from back injections, this health care provider performed three back surgeries for this patient. | |||||

On 12/23/16, a L4-S1 fusion was performed. Post-operatively, the records reflect the patient's post op back pain resolved and the radicular pain improved but the patient had radicular pain within the S1 nerve distribution. A CT Myelogram reflected there was something near the nerve root L4-5. On 1/27/17, this health care provider performed a revised laminectomy and facetectomy L4-5 and revision of the pedicle screw and rod fixation L3-4 to S1 on the right side. A second CT Myelogram was performed and reflected a destructive process at the disc space L4-5. Due to continued complaints of back pain, a third surgery was performed on 3/6/17 in which this provider removed the right sided instrumentation but found no impingement. | |||||
