Orthopedics: I see no progression of the mild grade 1 VSD distally. She does - sm
Posted: Nov 05, 2009
have varicosities, but there is no progression....I did talk to her about swimming and cycling as other activities to maintain quad strength and keep her weight down for both her joint disease as well as risk of VSD.
I can not figure out what VSD stands for. He says it very clearly. All my searches turn up ventricular septal defect, but his use of the word "distally" makes me think he is not talking about that. Plus, this is an orthopedist.
Are you sure it is VSD and not RSD for reflex sympathetic dystrophy? - Victoria

maybe venous segmental disease? sm - flybye
[ In Reply To ..]google VSDS or VCSS
there's also VSD=Venous Disability Score, but in your case they mean the condition of VSD=venous segmental disease...
Thank you! That may be it. - nm

VSC maybe? - liz
[ In Reply To ..]Just a shot in the dark but are you sure he is not saying VSC, vertebral subluxation complex?
long shot, but may be venous stasis disease, since he did mention varicosities. - n
[ In Reply To ..]venous stasis disease???
Thank you everyone! I appreciate the input. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]This doc is a clear speaker, but he likes to use lots of abbreviations. I was really drawing a blank on what he meant by this one.
