K -- when the doc dicates the patient is a 1-year-old though 10-year-old should the ages be typed out or Arabic numerals? I believe BOS says the above -- however QA for the new company says "typed out" --- grrr

for years i've been using low-back pain as a pain of the low back
just like i've been using small-bowel disease as a disease of the small bowel
i figured that the "low" and the "small" refer to the "back" and the "bowel," respectively, but i'm so open to the reasoning why it should not be hyphenated....
since they're terms i use every single day, i would really appreciate clarification....
thanks!

While I realize it is the OP's responsibility to doublecheck whatever answers received here, and it's fine to be lazy in any other posts on the board, but IMO, it's still a good idea to give correct answers -- spelling, capitalization, and all -- when providing word help. Otherwise, if the OP is also "lazy" it will end up in a medical record the wrong way. Not major in this case, but could be in others ...
Just my opinion, of course.
