She has no pain with range of motion of her lumber spine with excellent range of motion of the spine. She has no pain with extension. She is having some lower back pain predominantly on the left side of her lower back in the region of her lumbar curve, most likely secondary to a fatigue type symptom. Her mom reported that she is having some tremors in her hands. An upper extremity neurologic exam was performed to evaluate her tremors and it was reported that her exam is entirely normal with full motor strength, sensation and reflexes. It was recommended that she come back in 6 mo. for follow-up care, repeat xrays and possibly consider MRI if there is progression of her scoliosis as well as to evaluate or rule out a spinal cord etiology of her tremors. On 7/6/00, the pt was seen by her family physician and it was reported that the tremors become worse when playing volleyball. The pt was referred to a neurologist for further evaluation.
