You are called to care for an elderly patient who cannot feel the right leg. The patient has had years of back problems with multiple surgeries. Today the pain is down the lateralposterior leg with numbness and tingling laterally and in the foot.

Loss of circulation in right leg. Degeneration of the right knee. Onset of musculo-skeletal disorder.
