Re: Has anyone heard of "Girth Pain?"

Glad to know that it's common. As I wrote in a previous reply, this doctor
doesn't pay complete attention because he trusts me to know when he makes a
mistake. So when I come up with a new term that I can't seem to parse, I'm
a bit suspicious. Maybe next week or next month it'll make sense to me, but
in the meantime, I'm glad it'll make sense to other physicians & I won't
look like an idiot for putting it through.

Thanks everyone!

I type a lot of H&P for my surgical center, and that phrase is used a lot
in
those reports, almost every day by someone.

The minute I read the post all I could think of was horses and girth
sores
which can happen--fairly common if you don't tack up the horse properly!
I
always would pick up the front leg and pull it forward so the skin under
the girth would smooth out, as a girth sore is quite painful to the
horse.
I thought it was funny to describe a person with "girth pain." However
it
is somewhat descriptive but not something I would expect a doctor to
use!

The chief complaint is "girth pain." I understand what he's trying to
say,
but can your "girth" really hurt you? Wouldn't it be abdominal pain,
unless
you were complaining about your joints hurting you because of your
weight?
lol
Of course, this is what they want and this is what they get. But I'd
like
to know if there's another way to look at this that could make sense
and
I'm
just missing it.
