Talk:Osteomyelitis

message: why is it called osteomyelitis? I thought myelitis means swelling of the spinal cord or something.
:The question really should be "why does myelitis mean spinal cord inflammation?". The word "myelitis" itself comes from the Greek word for bone marrow, myelos. For anatomists in the bad old days, marrow was more or less "whatever you find in the middle of a bone", and for the spinal column, that meant the spinal cord. So the two different conditions bear similar names because they involve areas in similar anatomical relation to bones rather than because they're really similar. -Nunh-huh 23:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: :I've had to do a lot of research into this for a story, and found out a lot of things in the process. As a result, I've been using what spare time I have to write a new version of the page merging my research with what we've already got. Since I want to use multiple references, I was wondering if there'd be any objections to my trying out the new cite.php system on the page. If there's too much protest, I'm happy to try out the Wikipedia:Footnote3 option instead. Or anything else you want. Please let me know what you wanna see, okay? :-)

replies: text: Yes, to lyse is to cause lysis. Isn't it in your dictionary? It's in mine. -Nunh-huh 01:50, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Antibiotics, accupuncture, Chinese medicine - I've tried them all and I still have chronic osteomyelitis in R tibia following an RTA in 1988.  My surgeon suggested 'free flap surgery' then backtracked because the cost is prohibitive.  And now I'm in my 30's I'm getting fat because the condition reduces the amount of impact exercise I can do.  Too much and my leg swells up and discharges through a natural sinus.  Should I just get the damn leg cut off at the knee?  At least that way I'd be rid of the mailaise it causes.  Doctors, herbalists... feel free to jump in anytime.  Harry, Australia
:Never come to Wikipedia (or any internet site) for medical advice. While doing research and informing yourself is fine, you should only seek medical advice from licensed physicians. If you don't feel that your physician is helpful, find another physician you are more comfortable with.--SvetBeard 20:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
