Patient presents with complaints consistent with lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy.  Symptoms include low back pain radiating to the leg, described as sharp, burning, or electric-like.  Onset of pain is reported as [onset - e.g., gradual, sudden, following lifting incident].  Patient reports [duration of symptoms - e.g., intermittent, constant] pain exacerbated by [exacerbating factors - e.g., coughing, sneezing, bending, prolonged sitting] and alleviated by [alleviating factors - e.g., rest, lying down].  Neurological examination reveals [positive or negative] straight leg raise test at [degrees] on the [right or left] side, producing pain radiating to the [distribution - e.g., buttock, posterior thigh, calf, foot].  Diminished [sensation or reflexes] noted in the [dermatome/myotome - e.g., L5, S1] distribution.  Muscle weakness is [present or absent] in the [affected muscle groups - e.g., ankle dorsiflexion, great toe extension].  Patient denies bowel or bladder incontinence.  Differential diagnoses include lumbar spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, and facet joint syndrome.  Impression is lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy at [level - e.g., L4-L5, L5-S1] based on clinical presentation and physical examination findings.  Plan includes conservative management with NSAIDs, physical therapy, and activity modification.  Imaging studies, such as MRI of the lumbar spine, may be considered to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the extent of disc herniation.  Neurosurgical consultation will be considered if symptoms persist or worsen despite conservative treatment, or if neurological deficits progress.  Patient education provided regarding proper body mechanics, pain management strategies, and the natural history of lumbar disc herniation.  Follow-up scheduled in [timeframe - e.g., two weeks] to assess response to treatment.
