Stiff

View details

A 35-year-old woman presents with intermittent back pain and stiffness for 10 years, which have progressed over time and are now debilitating, preventing her from conducting her daily household activities. These symptoms are worst in the morning; they initially resolved over a few hours, but have become persistent now. Due to financial reasons, she has never sought medical advice, preferring to medicate herself with over-the-counter analgesics. Her medical history is otherwise unremarkable. There is no history of trauma.
