Left Hip And Leg Pain In A Patient Recently Started On Oral Steroids: 387 2:00 PM - 2:20 PM
Excerpt
A 54 year-old junior female presents to the Sports Medicine clinic with a complaint of increasing pain in her left hip and leg over the past month. Initially she had pain only intermittently, but now she has difficulty walking without using a walker. She reports no history of trauma to the affected area. She has a two year history of low back pain, but now she states that her back pain seems trivial compared to the pain that radiates down her posterior leg to a level just above her knee. She denies any history of fevers, chills or night sweats, but has had some weight gain since starting on prednisone two months prior as treatment for a chronic skin ulceration which is a complication of her sarcoidosis.
