My husband had total knee replacement on April 27th and came home on the April 30th. He has been doing his PT and walking around the block and started having muscle spasms in the knee area about 4 days ago and it is so painful because it pulls his knee completely back.
Medical Definition of IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) IBD (inflammatory bowel disease): A group of chronic intestinal diseases characterized by inflammation of the bowel -- the large or small intestine. The most common types of inflammatory bowel disease are ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease favors the ileum (the lower part of the small intestine) but can occur anywhere along the intestinal tract while, by contrast, ulcerative colitis affects the colon (the large intestine) alone.
b.i.d. (on prescription): Seen on a prescription, b.i.d. means twice (two times) a day. It is an abbreviation for bis in die which in Latin means twice a day.The abbreviation b.i.d. is sometimes written without a period either in lower-case letters as bid or in capital letters as BID. (or qid or QID) is four times a day; q.i.d. 2  stands for quater in die (in Latin, 4 times a day). 3  q_h: If a medicine is to be taken every so-many hours, it is written q_h; the q standing for quaque and the h indicating the number of hours.
