TMGE type pain?

Subject: TMGE type pain?

Dr. Says:  She states that she was diagnosed with severe TMJ and that her ear had looked fine, and she also saw a doctor for an ENT consult.  He agreed that he felt this was a jaw issue. 


ASSESSMENT:  TMGE type pain, also some spasm in her left neck.  It seems like the sternocleidomastoid muscle area. So, it does seem like TMJ syndrome.  (What is TMGE?)

I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.

I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN.  Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading.  Hope that helps!

because the most important thing is whether or not the pain is radiating down into the extremities. That would be radiculopathy (commonly called sciatica), and it's not a good thing.

CC: Back pain
Subject: CC: Back pain

Thanks for taking the time on this . . .

While the CC: is back pain, the subjective describes . . .

This is an 81-year-old female who, for the last month, has had some intermittent pain next to her right shoulder blade. She is right-handed, and she has been doing a lot of gardening and weed whacking. It does not bother her much during the day, but at night when she sits, and then when she is lying in bed at night, she feels what she describes as a muscle spasm with twinges. She also at times has some diffuse pain from her elbow radiating up to her neck when she “overdoes it”, but that has been going on for quite some time, and she does not feel like that has recently changed.
