stenosis. Redemonstration of mild levoscoliosis. Patient's clinical symptoms
and workup are consistent with lumbar radicular pain, lumbar spondylosis,
spinal stenosis, DDD and OA of both knees.
At todays visit, he is complaining of low back pain radiating into bilateral
lower extremities and bilateral knee pain. Given the nature of the patient's
pain symptoms, discussed proceeding with BILATERAL intra-articular knee
joint injections and he is in agreement. Risks and benefits were discussed in
detail with the patient at todays visit. The details of the procedure and
benefits/risks were discussed in detail with the patient at today's visit
including risks of infections, risks of bleeding, risks of being allergic to
medication used, nerve injuries, pneumothorax, PDPH, possible nerve
injury and paralysis as well as vascular complications. I also re-iterate to the
patient that these risks are very minimal in nature. He will continue taking
Gabapentin, Oxycodone as needed, and Morphine ER. Refill sent. Risks and
side effects of the medication were discussed with the patient. The patient
was advised not to mix opioids and sedative meds with benzodiazepine or
alcohol as well as muscle relaxer type medications due to risk of excessive
sedation and respiratory depression. The patient was instructed to use
caution including not driving when initiating or after increasing the dose
until you can ensure that your cognition and reaction time are not affected.
All dose increases will take place when driving is not needed such as on
weekends to further avoid incidents due to sedation. Educated the patient
on the use of Naloxone (a drug that can reverse the effects of opioid
overdose) in the setting of overdose on narcotics and we will consider
prescribing it. UDS collected and PDMP reviewed. All of the patient's
questions were answered.
