Answer 7

  • Degenerative disc disease with L4, L5 impingement
  • Disc herniation at L4,L5
  • Piriformis syndrome
  • Paul presents with symptoms that can be associated with any of these conditions. Based on the information above and the differential diagnoses that I have given, it is fair to say that Paul would benefit from treatment as all of these conditions are within the scope of physiotherapy and I would feel competent and confident to treat him.
