CHART NOTE
She is still having some pain in the right low back and hip area. She still has some limitation of motion of the right shoulder.
X-rays today of her shoulder show continued healing and good alignment. X-ray of her lumbar spine does show some lumbosacral disk space narrowing, and I suspect this is what is giving her some radiating pain into her buttock.
We are going to have Therapy continue her range-of-motion treatment to her shoulder, and suggested possible use of the TENS unit or a back support, as she cannot take anti-inflammatory medication. In any event I will see her back in a couple of months.
FOOTNOTE
Line 12. Alternative: Disc.
Line 15. Therapy here refers to the physical therapy department. It was capitalized to avoid its being misinterpreted.
The first several months of my site there were no comments; just give it time; now they come in like crazy every day! Thanks.
