LUMBAR BACK PAIN: RONALD, YOU MAY BE SUFFERING FROM MUSCULOSKELETAL BACK PAIN OR SOMETHING MORE SEVERE RELATED TO THE LUMBAR SPINE. IF AN MRI OF THE LUMBOSACRAL SPINE HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED TO DATE, I WOULD ASK YOUR INTERNAL MEDICINE PHYSICIAN TO ORDER IT AND OBTAIN IT AT YOUR LOCAL IMAGING CENTER. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RULE OUT LUMBAR DISC DISEASE OR ANY OTHER OCCULT ISSUES RELATED TO THE LUMBAR SPINE.
