(Medical Transcription Sample Report)

The symptoms became maximal over a 12-24 hour period and have not changed since. The symptoms consist of tingling in the distal lower extremities approximately half way up the calf bilaterally.

Past medical and family histories are unremarkable. He was on no medications.
