Subject: help needed for spinal H&P
Need help with spinal history and physical exam. Doc says after he gives the height and weight something that sounds like patient is adjusted (sp) for osteolytic conditions and something which i left blank and then reflexia are 5 and modalis general exam normal. Does this sound right?

spinal stenosis
Subject: spinal stenosis
Spinal stenosis is ONLY of the spine and is not found in other parts of the body. I do ortho and the previous poster is incorrect. That's why it's called 'spinal' meaning of the spine. Stenosis can occur in other parts, but spinal stenosis is only of the spine.

The addition of the S/L nash or natch from the spinal cord stimulator electrode could cause an increase in the degree of spinal stenosis and a neurologic complication because of the stenosis secondary to the herniation.

I may be wrong, but this just doesn't seem quite right. I've copied and pasted the definition from my Stedman's electronic dictionary.
xanthochromia
