Does this make sense to anyone? Active range of motion of the left knee is approximately 0 to 100?

MUSCULOSKELETAL heading?
Subject: MUSCULOSKELETAL heading?
Newbie here. I'm typing an H&P and under instruction to supply appropriate headings & subheadings if they are not dictated, esp. in an H&P.
Under the Physical Examination, the Dr. dictated most headings, but under ABDOMEN, she continued with what I think is more of a musculoskeletal exam:
ABDOMEN: His abdomen is rotund, nontender, nondistended, and soft. He has no costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness to percussion. He has no thoracic tenderness to palpation. His pain begins at approximately L2 down to his sacrum, with pain greater down his right gluteus versus his left, but does have pain. He has slow movement and grimaces with any movement. He is able to stand. Decreased range of motion secondary to pain. Straight-leg reflex painful in both legs. Reflexes are diminished bilaterally.
Here is my question: I cannot find a precedent for adding the MUSCULOSKELETAL subheading. Yet beginning from "His pain" and following is not really under an ABDOMEN exam, is it? At the very least, I feel I should start a new paragraph, but then my format is messed up b/c everything else has a subheading!
Needless to say, it stresses me out a bit. Any advice is definitely appreciated!

Subject: Question about eye exam...when everting lids on eye exam (sm)
It is EVERT, not AVERT, right? I have always typed it with an E but I have a PA who keeps insisting it is A. I always thought Avert applied to gaze, as if to look away. Just want to make sure everting the eyelid is the right term. TIA.

There is an abbreviation, LOB, which stands for "loss of balance"
not sure this is what you're looking for. Either way, I do believe what the dictator would have said was "loss" of protective sensation..., not "lots" Hope this helps!
