How did the pain start?
I complained because of back pain last year before that I had intermittent pain at my back
Was it a gradual onset over years or was there one specific activity or injury that caused it? No really.
When did that injury occur? May 2011
Describe the activity or action that brought on the pain. Was it a lifting injury, a bike accident or did the pain onset come on gradually?
How long have the symptoms been present and have they changed in quality or intensity? For nearly one year. They are always present but sometimes I can not stand the pain or can not sit on my desk.
I hope this helps you. I am planning to create new pictures with the MRI. As soon as I have them I will post new ones.
Best,
Saad
