conservative treatment
Subject: conservative treatment

This patient has osteoarhritis of her right knee.


The patient is a 61-year-old female with a long history of right knee pain.  She pursued conservative treatment <s/l al-er-d-es> without significant relief.  She proceeded with a right total knee arthroplasty.


I can't for the life of me think of what this could be. I thought maybe it was just suppose to be "conservative treatment without significant reflief" but it sounds likes she's saying something there, but I can't figure it out.
