• Spine Pain

  Many patients live with low back pain that radiates to the buttock, groin, thigh, and even knees. The challenge for patients, and often their doctors, is determining the origin of the pain -- the hip, the spine, or both. [sciencedaily.com]

The significant number of patients that fall into this category has prompted spine surgeons to consider other potential etiologies for LBP, and SIJ dysfunction has become a rapidly developing field of research. [mdedge.com]

However, this diagnostic finding alone is not specific and might represent other etiologies known to produce similar pain, such as intervertebral discs and facet joints. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinically, DISH with spinal stenosis seemed a more likely etiology for his symptoms. Spinal stenosis should be suspected in patients in whom low back pain is relieved by sitting or leaning forward and exaggerated by extension. [hopkinsarthritis.org]
