A 42 year old woman who works as a cashier at Walmart, presents with low back pain for the past month. There is no history of trauma.  She says the pain averages about 6 out of 10 but is relieved on her days off and worse when she works.  It feels like a band of pain across her lower back that radiates down into both her thighs.  Her toes feel “strange” and almost numb.  She has no history of drug or alcohol abuse or of serious systemic illness, but does report loosing ten pounds without dieting this last month.  She denies loss of bowel or bladder control.  On physical exam you find her to be stiff, with limited range of motion of the spine.  Inspection is normal.  Palpation of the spine reveals tenderness around the L4 and L5 vertebrae. There is no motor weakness, sensory is symmetric and equal, gait is guarded and slow but balanced, and deep tendon reflexes are diminished (1+) but symmetric.  After taking the history and doing the physical exam which feature is a “red flag” and should be most concerning to you?
