Questions
Cаse Study: Mr. Jоnes is аn 85-yeаr-оld male whо reports shooting pain, numbness, and tingling down his right lower extremity that reaches the posterior thigh region. His pain is worst when he is standing, and sitting is the only position that seems to feel better. He reports that lying down and bringing his knees to his chest alleviates tingling in his right leg. He has a long history of about 2-3 years of off-and-on “episodes” of low back pain, but this has been his worst bout of back pain. He currently does not perform any exercise beyond the occasional walking he does with his wife in the evening. Mr. Jones' primary doctor suggested he look into spinal fusion surgery as an option. Based on the current evidence, what condition would a fusion surgery be best indicated for, based on the success of surgery vs conservative options?
