Dear Dr L 

 

Re: Prof Alan Harrison. Glendower. Fourth Avenue. Ross on Wye.   

      Herefordshire. HR9 7HR. DOB 22/05/1941

 

Professor Harrison consulted me last week with severe low back pain.

 

I examined him and found a spondilotic lower lumber spine tenderness around the transverse process of L5 on the left and right piriformis muscles.      I suspect that the sharp pain he experiences is from facet joint impaction in his lower lumbar.

 

He has a history of low back pain starting in the 1970s and has had one serious horse-fall in late 70s.

.

He has asked me about his pain medication.   I told him it wasn't my field but to ask you about gabapentin or pregabalin.

 

Kind regards.

 

Yours sincerely
