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.
(on prescription): Seen on a prescription, q.d. (or qd) means one a day (from the Latin quaque die). The abbreviation is sometimes written without a period in capital letters as QD. However it is written, it is one of a number of hallowed abbreviations of Latin terms that have been traditionally used in prescriptions to specify the frequency with which medicines should be taken. Other examples include: 1  b.i.d. (bid or BID) is twice a day; b.i.d.. stands for bis in die (which means, in Latin, twice a day).  t.i.d. (or tid or TID) is three times a day ; t.i.d. stands for ter in die (in Latin, 3 times a day).
