hip exam, not sure if a hip word or not - orthogirl


Posted: Mar 12, 2012

This patient is here for hip pain and says "was diagnosed by her previous PCP with a case of the ___________ (s/l eggasis) and was not recommended any treatment" 

Any ideas?  There is nothing else in the note that refers to this and I can not think of any hip disease that will fit this.  This woman also has back pain with radiculopathy, as well as the hip pain if that helps. 

TIA for any help. 

? thecal cyst - wag

avascular necrosis? stenosis? guesses - hmmm

It could be anything: osteoarthritis, osteoarthrosis...

Thanks but she says a case of ********* so I am pretty sure it is not an ortho term - thanks for the help anyway

any other suggestions welcome

Maybe ageusia...SM - Old Anon

A case of ageusia (disorder of taste and/or smell). Of course doc might be saying ageusis because he doesn't know how to pronounce it.
