doctor: so we often like to keep people with heart problems on magnesium and get their levels up to around the 2-ish range . yours is a little bit less than 2 and we want that 2-ish range because it can help stabilize the heart muscle . so i might recommend putting you on magnesium supplement . it's supposed to be twice a day so that's kind of annoying , but i know you're on other medicines twice a day too , so i think you'll do fine . patient: yeah , that'll be okay .

doctor: um i can put it in right now for , uh , for county for the next 30 days , and they might be able to get you in within the next few weeks . it should not take , it should not make you ineligible for the surgery . in other words completing a colonoscopy would not delay your surgery . patient: okay , good .

doctor: gotcha . and did i hear that she gave you some prednisone and some oral steroids , or ? patient: uh , well , she gave me some numbing medicine . it helped a little bit . the other two were a neck pill and gabapentin . uh , you should have my full list in your notes , though . since then it has n't really bothered me at night . also , just so you know , i am a va and i'm one percent disabled from this leg , um , issues from my knees down to my feet .	D2N026	18	[ "Therapeutic History" ]	[ "Subjective" ]	gotcha . and did i hear that she gave you some prednisone and some oral steroids , or ?	732

doctor: all right . so , to start , i'm gon na have you do something for me . uh , just go ahead and tilt your chin as far as you can down to your chest . okay , good . and now , go the other way , tilting your chin up as far as you can . now , does that seem to bother you at all ? okay . and now , come back to normal , just look and turn your head as far as you can that way . great . and now , as far as you can towards that wall . uh , does that seem to bother you at all ? patient: no . well , actually , i do feel a little strain .

doctor: okay . so , you feel it in the neck a little bit ? patient: yeah , just a little strain .	D2N026	22	[ "Physical Examination" ]	[ "Objective" ]	okay . so , you feel it in the neck a little bit ?	736
doctor: okay . uh , now squeeze my fingers as hard as you can with both hands . great . now , hold your arms like this . patient: okay .	D2N026	23	[ "Physical Examination" ]	[ "Objective" ]	okay . uh , now squeeze my fingers as hard as you can with both hands . great . now , hold your arms like this .	737
doctor: and i'm going to try to strain your arms and try to keep them as stiff as you can . do n't let me strain it . okay , good . good . now , when i , i'm just touching your hands like this . does it seem to feel about the same in both hands ? patient: uh , yes .

doctor: okay . all right . so , i do agree with betty . uh , more than likely , this seems like it would be coming from your neck . that's the most common reason that causes what , what you're experiencing . and i looked at an x-ray of your neck , and you do seem to have a lot of arthritis there , and there does seem to be potential for a disc to be pushing on a nerve . and now , what i do n't have is an mri , which would show me , uh , kind of exactly where the nerve roots are getting pinched off . patient: i see .	D2N026	25	[ "Radiology Examination", "Acute Assessment" ]	[ "Objective", "Assessment" ]	okay . all right . so , i do agree with betty . uh , more than likely , this seems like it would be coming from your neck . that's the most common reason that causes what , what you're experiencing . and i looked at an x-ray of your neck , and you do seem to have a lot of arthritis there , and there does seem to be potential for a disc to be pushing on a nerve . and now , what i do n't have is an mri , which would show me , uh , kind of exactly where the nerve roots are getting pinched off .	739
doctor: so , gabapentin can help a little bit with the nerve pain , and what i would like to do is potentially set you up for an epidural . and what that is is it , it's a focused anti-inflammatory medicine , excuse me , that works behind the nerve roops that , nerve roots that we are thinking might be getting squished off . it can often help alleviate your symptoms , and i do need to get an mri of your neck . um , i know we have had one of your lower back , but i need one of your neck to see exactly where the roots are getting pinched off . so , what i can do is tentatively set you up for an epidural , but before you do that , we do need to get that mri so i can see right where i need to put the medicine for your epidural . uh , what do you think of that ? patient: i think that sounds good to me .

doctor: okay , good . and just to confirm , do you take any blood thinners ? i do n't think i saw any on your medicine list . patient: uh , no , i do n't .	D2N026	27	[ "Therapeutic History" ]	[ "Subjective" ]	okay , good . and just to confirm , do you take any blood thinners ? i do n't think i saw any on your medicine list .	741
doctor: okay , good . and what i would have you do is continue with the gabapentin . um , are you taking 300 or 100 ? patient: um , not sure . my lady friend helps me handle this stuff .	D2N026	28	[ "Medication", "Therapeutic History" ]	[ "Subjective", "Plan" ]	okay , good . and what i would have you do is continue with the gabapentin . um , are you taking 300 or 100 ?	742
doctor: okay . um , so whatever you are doing you can just keep doing it , and i'm going to set you up for the epidural and imaging study , um , just so i know right where to put the medicine . and i will follow up with you after s- um , that's in . we can do the shot , just to make sure your arm is feeling better . sound good ? patient: sounds good . for the last couple of nights , though , my neck has not been bothering me .

doctor: okay . s- um , so , presumably what's happening , then , is when you're sleeping your neck is kind of gets off-tilt , uh , kilter , and it compresses the nerve roots there . now , if you think you're doing fine , we could hold off , but at the very la- least , i'd like to update that mri of yours and see what's going on , because probably this is something that will likely flare up again . patient: yeah , it , it has been for the last week , so , i understand .

doctor: okay . all right . well , do you want to do that work-up and do the epidural , or do you think you're doing fine and you want to wait ? patient: well , my hand is still bothering me .

doctor: okay . so , you're saying your neck is not bothering you but the hand is . okay . so then , let's just stick with the plan . mri of the neck , so we can see where the nerve roots may be compressed , that's giving your hand the issue . and then , we're going to set you up with the epidural . patient: okay . sounds good .
