Spine Pain

This radiograph is from an elderly woman who accidently fell down a flight of stairs.  She has had persistent back pain since that time.  Each student should add one piece of information to this case.  It can be to describe normal or abnormal things on the radiograph, a finding about whatever you think the diagnosis of this radiograph is, what is a symptom, or what you would do during physical examination.  Each blog post should be a different piece of information to lead us toward an accurate diagnosis.
