Past Medical History
His H & H dropped from 12.6/36.9 to 9.4/26.7. FOBT was positive and patient had an endoscopy done showing erosive gastritis. ESR at that admission was 37 and then raised to 98. An MRI of lumbar spine showed degenerative disk disease at
L5-S1 with protrusion of the disk. MRI of pelvis showed inflammatory changes and edema at right side of pelvis,
extending posteriorly and inferiorly from the right sacroiliac region into the right greater sciatic foramen and the right
piriformis and gluteus medius muscle. He was discharged on pain medication with a plan to follow up and a possible CT guided biopsy of gluteus medius. He did not follow up and
spent most of his time at home resting.
