"woody sensation" - MTinIowa


Posted: Jun 14, 2011

I seriously edited a report tonight that listed the following in the abdomen section of the physical examination:  "woody sensation to the lower extreme of the patient's abdomen."  Can someone please tell me what "woody" means ??  The doctor was palpitating the patient, it was not something the patient was describing.  Also, he definitely is saying "woody."  I even had my QA verify it, and she told me to leave it as is, becaue he is definitely saying it.  She, also, has no clue what he means.  Any ideas? Suggestion, don't google.  *cough*

I think he means... - Hi there!

...what we usually see dictated as "woody edema" in the extremities. It's a kind of chronic dermatitis change in the skin from lymphedema/swelling.
