1. When did the pain begin?
The last memory of pain relating to this is playing baseball as a pitcher when I was about 12 or 13.
2. What were you doing at the time? Or did the pain come on gradually over time?
As far as I know it came on over time. I would get a sharp pain above my left glute when my front foot(left) would strike the ground during my delivery.
3. Where, anatomically, is the pain?
Left lower back.
4. What does the pain feel like? Sharp? Dull? Aching? Stabbing? Shooting?
Sharp
5. Is the pain constant, or intermittent, or only on certain motions?
The pain was certain motions until a football game my freshman year. I was playing both freshman and JV games, and the last game I had to be removed because of the pain.
6. What motions make your pain worse?
Dont really remember. Its been a while since I had pain in the area
7. What, if anything, makes your pain better?
Dont remember
8. Does your pain radiate to any other part of your body?
Not really.
9. What things could you do before, that you cannot do now because of your injury?
I notice when I run my right leg and glute seems to work more. And I can tell something is not functioning correctly
10. What is your main concern regarding the pain and its consequences?
I want to be able to run more efficiently. As I stated before, I think this problem led to a torn ACL in the same leg (left). I definately dont want that again.
11. Have you ever injured that part of your body before? If so, how?
Same leg. Torn ACL when I was 17. I went to tackle a bigger player and got "run over". I heard a snap and much pain followed
12. Is your pain getting worse over time? And if so, how much worse over what time period?
Not getting worse. Muscle funtion seems off, so to speak.
