Subject: comorbidity conditions: PEG 2

what s/l PEG 2 is listed under comorbidity conditions.  I found that PEG can mean pneumoencephalography or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, but neither of these have a "2" related to them and they aren't conditions.  Any ideas??

It is the only medication listed and the only thing in his Past Medical History is ankle surgery. I thought that it might have been an anti-inflammatory or pain medication, but can't find anything to match. Thanks for picking your brain for me!
