| 1:31,1,31,31,GENHX,"The patient is a 55-year-old gentleman who presents for further evaluation of right leg weakness. He has difficulty recollecting the exact details and chronology of his problem. To the best of his recollection, he thinks that about six months ago he developed weakness of his right leg. He describes that he is reaching to get something from a cabinet and he noticed that he was unable to stand on his right toe. Since that time, he has had difficulty pushing off when he walks. He has mild tingling and numbness in his toes, but this has been a chronic problem and nothing new since he has developed the weakness. He has chronic mild back pain, but this has been persistent for many years and has not changed. He has experienced cramps in both calves for the past year. This dissipated about two months ago. He does not think that his left leg is weak. He does not have any bowel or bladder incontinence. There is no radicular pain. He does not think that the problem is progressive, meaning that the weakness that he perceives in his right leg is no different than when it was six months ago. He first sought medical attention for this problem in October. He then saw you a couple of months later. He has undergone an EMG and nerve conduction studies. Unfortunately, he cannot undergo an MRI of his spine because he has an ear implant. He has had a CT scan that shows degenerative changes, but nothing obviously abnormal. In addition, the patient has hyperCKemia. He tells me that he has had an elevated CK prior to starting taking stat medications, although this is not entirely clear to me. He thinks that he is not taking Lipitor for about 15 months and thought that his CK was in the 500 or 600s prior to starting it. Once it was started, it increased to about 800 and then came down to about 500 when it was stopped. He then had a recent bump again up to the 1000 and since Lipitor has been stopped, his CK apparently has returned to about the 500 or 600s. I do no have any laboratory data to support these statements by the patient, but he seems to be up to speed on this. More recently, he has been started taking Zetia. He does not have any proximal weakness. He denies any myalgias.","Doctor: Hi there! I am Doctor Jones, sir. |
| Patient: Hello! It is nice to meet you. |
| Doctor: What brings you into see me today? |
| Patient: I have had this weakness in my right leg for quite some time now. |
| Doctor: How long has this been going on and do you know how you injured yourself? |
| Patient: I think that it was about six months ago that the weakness in my leg started. I don't really remember how it happened. |
| Doctor: Can you tell me what you do remember? |
| Patient: I was reaching to get something from a cabinet, and I noticed that I was unable to stand on my right toe. Ever since then I have had difficulty pushing off when walking. My toes were tingling and numb. |
| Doctor: Was the numbness and tingling mild, moderate, or severe? |
| Patient: It was a mild feeling, but this has been an ongoing problem that has been the same since the weakness started. |
| Doctor: Have you had any other pain any where else in your body? |
| Patient: I have had back pain, but this has been going on for many years and has not changed. |
| Doctor: Is the back pain been mild, moderate, or severe? |
| Patient: I would say mild. I have also been having cramping in both calves. |
| Doctor: How long has that been going on? |
| Patient: For the past year but it stopped about two months ago. |
| Doctor: Have you had any weakness in the left leg? |
| Patient: No. I don't think so. |
| Doctor: Have you had any pain around right leg and the area of numbness and tingling? |
| Patient: No. Everything that is going on with my right leg has pretty much been the same since it started six months ago. I have not gotten worse or better. |
| Doctor: Have you had any bowel or bladder incontinence? Any radicular pain? |
| Patient: No. |
| Doctor: When did you first see a doctor for the issue? I remember that you told me you saw a different provider prior to coming to see me. |
| Patient: I saw the other doctor in October. That was a couple of months before I came to see you. |
| Doctor: I see in your chart that we did a CT scan that shows degenerative changes, but nothing obviously abnormal. Remind me why we did not do a MRI of your spine? |
| Patient: I cannot have an MRI because of my ear implant. |
| Doctor: That is unfortunate. It looks like we were able to do an EMG and nerve conduction studies. What medications are you taking currently? |
| Patient: I had an elevated CK before I started taking stat medications. |
| Doctor: What medications are those? |
| Patient: I am not taking Lipitor anymore. I think I took it for about fifteen months. |
| Doctor: Do you know what your levels of your CK were before you started taking medication? |
| Patient: I thought that my CK was in the five hundred or six hundreds prior to starting it. Once I started it, my levels increased to about eight hundred and then came down to about five hundred again when it was stopped. I recently stopped taking Lipitor because my levels were up to the thousand's and then my CK apparently has returned to about the five hundreds or six hundreds. |
| Doctor: I don't see any labs in your chart. Did your primary do labs for your CK levels? |
| Patient: Yes, he did. |
| Doctor: Okay. Have you started any other medications? |
| Patient: Yes, I just started Zetia. |
| Doctor: Have you experienced any weakness or pain after starting Zetia? |
| Patient: No. |
| Doctor: Can you remind me how old you are? |

| Patient: I don't remember exactly what happened, but my foot twisted and there was so much pain right away. |
| Doctor: When did this happen? |
| Patient: Um, it was on November twenty sixth two thousand seven. I think it was around eleven thirty in the morning. |
| Doctor: Okay, do you have any other injuries I should know about? |
| Patient: No, just this one right now. |
| Doctor: Hello, how are you doing today? Before we get started, I am going to do a basic review of your medical and social history. |

| The patient has a previous history of a left traumatic wrist injury, which has left him with a chronic scapholunate problem and possibly other problems in his wrist. However, he was doing relatively fine and tolerating the wrist soreness that he had, which is day to day, but it has not gotten much worse until this injury. Once he lifted the object out of the back of his car and it started to hurt, then he was significantly more affected than he was before, and now pain is more on the ulnar side of his wrist than on the radial side of his wrist. He is here now for evaluation.Doctor: Hello, sir. How are you doing today? |
| Patient: I hurt my left wrist again. |
| Doctor: Oh, no. Again? Did you hurt it before? |
| Patient: Yeah, I did. I've actually hurt it a lot. The most recent one was probably the worst pain of my life. |
| Doctor: I see. How did you hurt it? |
| Patient: I was lifting some things out of the trunk of my car, and it started hurting. |
| Doctor: Did it hurt before that? |
| Patient: Yeah, it did. It was sore and stuff, but the pain wasn't bothering me too much. I kind of just lived with it. Some days it would be fine, but other days it would hurt a little more. |
| Doctor: The recent injury made it worse? |
| Patient: Yeah, it did. The pain after the incident got worse. I kind of feel it now more near my pinky area than my thumb area. |
| Doctor: I see. So, near your ulnar side and not as much the radial side. You said earlier your wrist was already sore, right? Why was that? |
| Patient: Remember how I told you about the time I had the worst pain of my life? That's how. I have some old notes you can see. Here you go. |
| Doctor: Thank you. Oh, wow. It says here you have chronic scapholunate problems and other problems too. |

| The patient is a 56-year-old right-handed female with longstanding intermittent right low back pain, who was involved in a motor vehicle accident in September of 2005. At that time, she did not notice any specific injury. Five days later, she started getting abnormal right low back pain. At this time, it radiates into the buttocks down the posterior aspect of her thigh and into the right lateral aspect of her calf. Symptoms are worse when sitting for any length of time, such as driving a motor vehicle. Mild symptoms when walking for long periods of time. Relieved by standing and lying down. She denies any left leg symptoms or right leg weakness. No change in bowel or bladder function. Symptoms have slowly progressed. She has had Medrol Dosepak and analgesics, which have not been very effective. She underwent a spinal epidural injection, which was effective for the first few hours, but she had recurrence of the pain by the next day. This was done four and a half weeks ago. On examination, lower extremities strength is full and symmetric. Straight leg raising is normal.Doctor: How old are you? |

| Doctor: Does anything elevate your pain or decreases it? |
| Patient: It gets worse when I'm sitting for a longer period, such as like driving or if I'm walking for a long period of time. It is a little less bad when walking, but still, it is there. Lying down relieves the pain for a bit and also standing helps. |
| Doctor: Is there any symptom like weakness or pain in your left leg or your right leg? |
| Patient: Nope. |
| Doctor: Any change in your bowel movement or your urine function? |

It involves mostly the middle finger, although, she says it also involves the first and second digits on the right hand. She has some pain in her thumb as well.

| Doctor: Is it in your whole hand or some specific fingers? |
| Patient: It is mostly in my middle finger, but sometimes I also get this on the first or the second finger of my right hand. Sometimes I have pain in my thumb as well. Do you think it is arthritis? |

He was recently hospitalized for left gluteal abscess, for which he underwent I&D and he has newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus. He also has a history of hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. He had been having increased urination and thirst. He was seen in the hospital by the endocrinology staff and treated with insulin while hospitalized and getting treatment for his perirectal abscess.

She did not seek attention for these, and the symptoms have begun to subside on their own and in the meantime, she continues to have some difficulties with blood sugar management.

She was treated appropriately with glucose and crackers, and her blood sugar came back up to over 100. She was able to manage this completely on her own. In the meantime, she is not having any other medical problems that have interfered with glucose control.
