THURSDAY'S TERMINOLOGY
list names of tests...conditions.....medical terms ect.....and those who can offer the definition.This will be a reference for chiari and related conditions.
ie: EDS= EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME
EDS is a genetic connective tissue disorder characterized by joint pain and hypermobility, strechy delicate skin, or fragile vessels and organs prone to rupture.People with EDS have these unstable joints, fragile skin, or vascular problems, because of a genetic defect in their connective tissue.
someone else can add to this by adding symptoms....ect...
If someone does not understand the verbage , we change it until we all understand!

DDD is degenerative disk disease.
Definition: The gradual deterioration of the disc between the vertebrae is referred to as Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD). What causes the gradual deterioration? As people age, the composition of the cartilage of the body changes, resulting in thinner and more fragile cartilage. The changes cause the discs and joints that stack the vertebrae (also known as facet joints) to wear and tear over time. Degeneration of the disc in Degenerative Disc Disease is also referred to as spondylosis. Spondylosis can be seen on xrays or MRI scanning of the spine as a narrowing of the normal disc space between adjacent vertebrae. The xray or MRI evidence is what confirms the diagnosis of Degenerative Disc Disease.
The pain from degenerative disc disease is usually treated with heat, rest, rehabilitative exercises, and medications to relieve pain, muscle spasm, and inflammation. Interestingly, Degenerative Disc Disease is very common. Conservative treatments are tried first for Degenerative Disc Disease and surgical treatment options are considered last resort for Degenerative Disk Disease.
