[00:00 → 00:08] So what can I do for you today? Well, I seem to have a very sore back and also a sore throat. [00:08 → 00:22] Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Um, what, uh, when did this all start? Well, the sore throat started about three days ago when they sore back about, uh, I don't know, about, uh, two weeks ago. [00:22 → 00:30] Oh, so what happened when you hurt your back? Well, I just twisted it because I was carrying something very heavy. [00:30 → 00:38] Oh, okay, and what about the sore throat? Well, I just started getting sore throat a few days ago. [00:38 → 00:44] Not much else to say. I was smoking heavily at the time. [00:44 → 00:52] Oh, and so as far as your back goes, um, what, what makes it worse? Well, if I lean forward, it hurts more. [00:52 → 00:57] Oh, really? What about when you lean backward? Um, no, it doesn't hurt to really at all. [00:57 → 01:04] And I also get tingling in my left leg. Oh, really? And what about, does any pain go into the left leg? [01:04 → 01:10] Yeah, it goes in the left leg. It goes up my back and across the side and up to my neck. [01:10 → 01:18] Well, and that's also where my sore throat goes like into my neck and down my back and into my toes. [01:18 → 01:23] Well, that sounds very serious. Yes. Well, let me take a look at you. I'm just going to examine your throat. [01:23 → 01:28] It does not look great. There's no pus. It looks pretty good. I don't know, let's examine your back. [01:28 → 01:35] You have seen to have full range of motion. Does any of that hurt? No, it actually seems to be much better. [01:35 → 01:46] Well, I would suggest that we put you on some anti-inflammatory medication. I'm in the right of prescription for nappers and 500 milligrams TID. [01:46 → 01:53] And that should help with both of those problems. Oh, that sounds really good. But if it doesn't help, then you come back and see me. [01:53 → 02:00] And otherwise, I think I'm due to see you in about three weeks for your B12 injection. Yes, that's true. [02:00 → 02:03] Okay, but we'll see you then. Okay, bye.
