Abstract
A 28-year old young man presented with a complaint of low-back pain. He had had this problem for 2 years, and the pain had been radiating to his left calf for 4 months. The patient had undergone surgery for lumbar disc herniation 3 months prior to presentation. Physical examination indicated good health status. There was erythema and discharge at the incision site without tenderness and swelling. The straight leg-raising test was positive at near to 80° on the left. The patient s left hamstring muscle strength was 4/5, and he had normal patellar deep tendon reflex on that side. Routine laboratory testing (complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, blood biochemistry panel) revealed nothing abnormal.
