DX--NOT RX: This means that selective block is diagnostic--to find the pain generator. Pain relief is not required to be prolonged to succeed to determine that. The test also shows that your back pain won't be resolved by treating the nerve root. So you still have a diagnostic problem--the cause of your back pain.

Here are a few reasons:
several factors to be highly associated with positive D-dimer results. This study has several advantages over previous studies; with our large sample size, we were able to adjust for a large number of covariates. This provides a more accurate estimate of the risk of a positive D-dimer, even for factors previously known to be associated with positive results. In addition, we were able to identify several factors not previously known to be associated with positive D-dimer results and describe the association of subcategories of malignancy, surgery, connective tissue disease, lung disease, and pregnancy
