An old and chronic problem I have when doing MT work is that my right shoulder aches after just a shor time at the keyboard. (I am left-handed). It seems the constant mouse movement irritate it a lot. I am now doing VRE type work and boy has it made it worse. I know my right side is probably weaker than my left and I can work on strengthening it somehow but I wondered if anyone has any ideas for this? I do not like being in pain. I've thought about a new chair ...
There is no evidence of significant rotator cuff tear and she has normal appearing s/l **slant sign** of the shoulder on her radiographs, I believe that she would be a candidate for a total shoulder rather than a reverse total shoulder. ...
I'm having trouble figuring out what this doc is dictating. She's describing the patient's foot pain, "AVN left foot, cellulitis, tendinopathy, plantar calcaneal heel spur, s/l pro-ridgal calcaneal bursitis.

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain. The doc states: (blank sounds like gel, or jail)
He denies any current discomfort but states when it is present it is usually a mild to moderate degree of pressure about the chest. He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...
Two words that come up often for questioning. These are strictly used in an orthopedic setting. Stedman's and Dorland's list end point and hand grip HOWEVER the office transcription manager, girl is asking for me to correct this to endpoint and handgrip. She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...

He has pain in the intrascapular area of the right shoulder.
I can't tell if the doc says intrascapular or interscapular. Are they interchangeable? I am inclined towards him saying intra- but I can't be sure and can't ask him.
thanks. ...
Dictated: Treatment options were discussed with him. These include repeat selective AC joint injection, s/l mulfer type (or tight or tech) distal clavicle, or living with residual symptoms.
He just slurs right over this. Any help, thank you! ...
