History of Present Illness : Mrs. H is a 26 y/o Hispanic female with a six year history of depression-controlled 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 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.
