tooth shaped from injury or what have you.  And like I said 9 times out of 10, odontoid refers to the "toothlike odontoid process in the second cervical vertebra."  That's pretty specific, dontcha think?  I've never heard a doctor refer to an "odontoid" in any other part of the body.

I doubt you could get all that with one keystroke.  I don't have anything with just one key stroke.  You could, however, try something like endx that is 4 strokes, but the whole thing would pop out.  Here is what I do cad = CAD, cadx = coronary artery disease, and so on.

Patient had wide resection of melanoma performed on his foot.

The tape cuts out, but I'm hoping this may be a pretty common thing when talking about wound healing... I'm pretty sure it starts with an R, and maybe an Re and then the tape cuts out and then it maybe ends with a ch.  ???

I do have CTS but ortho MDs say not to operate for another 10 years (til I'm way up there in age).  I find I have thumb pain (for decades) from hitting the space bar too hard with my thumb.  I had cortisone shots into the thumb for years (one shot lasted 10 years in one thumb and the other shots didn't work at all in the other thumb).


Hope you feel better!

my trapezium bone? sm
Subject: my trapezium bone? sm

My left hand is hurting in that big, round, fatty area below my thumb.  I've had carpal tunnel symptoms before, and they've gone away when I make ergonomic changes, but lately it's not in the wrist so much but in that fatty part under the thumb.  I can't tell if it's the bone itself that hurts or the tissue that hurts, or both.  It's sore in the scaphoid and lunate bones, but much less so than the trapezium area.  Is this a problem related to carpal tunnel?  If not, then I remember about 6 months ago getting a sliver or something like that stuck in that area and I'm wondering if it could be from that.  There's no redness or an entry wound at all.


I'm getting my bone references from:  http://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/hand/awrist.htm


It's not bad enough to run to the doctor, but it sure is annoying as an MT!  I really appreciate your opinions or experiences.
