| Claimant returned on 07/31/14 with the same complaints of lower back pain but also complained of pain right pinky and ring numbness as well as the middle finger. After noting the complaints of numbness, he continued with the treatment plan for the lower back. Claimant's next visit was 08/06/15 and his back pain was now 3 out of 4. The note indicates that the claimant was sitting in class all week. The insured thought that the numbness had to do with trigger finger due extensive use of firearms training. Claimant's final visit was on 08/11/15 and he reported his back pain as 2 out of 10 but his numbness of the right hand worsened. The insured performed an "Allen Test" which a doctor utilizes to see if the blood flow to a patient's hand is normal. He noted that the ulnar artery side of the claimant's right hand fills notably slower than the left hand and the radial artery side is slightly sower than the left hand. The insured recommended that the claimant see his primary care physician. | |||||
