Case Study: Mr. Jones is an 85-year-old male who reports shooting pain, numbness, and tingling down his right lower extremity that reaches the posterior thigh region.  His pain is worst when he is standing, and sitting is the only position that seems to feel better.  He reports that lying down and bringing his knees to his chest alleviates tingling in his right leg.
