Medical jargon (Part 2) (Teacher: Michael)
Encephalitis is inflammation of
Select
a
the
brain, whereas meningitis is inflammation of
Select
a
the
lining of
Select
a
the
brain. Fibrositis is
Select
a
the
painful muscular condition due to inflammation of
Select
a
the
tissues around
Select
a
the
muscles themselves, sometimes with
Select
a
the
formation of painful nodules.
There is also
Select
a
the
'itis' of joints, arthritis. However, arthralgia just means pain in
Select
a
the
joint, just as neuralgia means nerve pain or pain along
Select
a
the
course of one particular nerve. Hence, we often speak of neuralgia when we have toothache.
These are just some of
Select
a
the
common conditions I see in
Select
a
the
medical world - I could go on forever with
Select
a
the
list of jargon used for illnesses. Instead,
Select
a
the
most important thing to remember is not to be frightened by jargon as, more often than not, it sounds more serious than it really is.
