3072999 tn?1356414732 Hi Tink, I am actually a medical coder for a hospital -the ICD-10 code would be G93.5. The ICD-9 code is 384.4. Since ICD-9 is not very specific they may have put a I after to show it is a Chiari Malformation type 1. In ICD-10 it is more specific - G93.5 states Chiari Malformation 1. So I am assuming since the ICD-9 code of 384.4 just states compression of brain they had to add a 1 so it was more specific for their notes.
Avatar n tn My Dad had 4 heart attacks and had an ICD put in. It was a big help. In the end he passed away from cancer; his heart held up through all of that illness.
Avatar f tn However, I recently experienced some awkwardness or slight pain in the left breast, mainly around the ICD - towards the armpit and towards the center of the breast. I have scheduled all sorts of check ups - regarding the ICD and my gyneocologist, but until then I would greatly appreciate some input if this pain may be normal, due to the ICD and not something breast related. Also, how do the ICD and arrhythmia medications affect pregnancy?
Avatar m tn Glad..congrats for lasting 9 days and counting..You can help the pain by taking otc pain meds.tylenol extrastrength 2 every 4 hours max 4000mg/24hr and ibuprofen 400mg every 4 hours.These will help the rebound pain you are experiencing and even this pain will subside.You are doing well to be off methadone and all opiates because they do cause a rebound pain that is stronger than the original pain.
Avatar m tn 30PM to 6:30AM so 9 hours a night +/- an hour there. it seems after about 4 to 6 hours my heart just needs to shut down and relax some. LOL now these times are the most commong, but it can happend any time of the day.. even at night wile a sleep my breathing can change and my wife has been unable to wake me for time frames of upto an hour. Kenkeith, where you going to post information links, I did not see any in your post.
Avatar m tn Hi, I had my ICD implanted in January also and I have not had real pain in the area of the ICD since about 4-5 weeks post implant. I would call your doctor as soon as you can to see what it going on. Is there any redness or oozing from the incision? If there is, you need to get this looked at right away. There should be no numbness except maybe directly on the incision. You should also have been able to use your hand since immediately after the implant. Best bet is to get this checked out soon.
Avatar f tn I started to feel a bit better on day 6 but today day 9, I have new pain that I never had before. My knee feels like something is wrong. I have heard that your brain will try to convince itself that there is a true medical reason that I need to be on the Oxy. Has anyone experianced new pain issues this far into withdrawal that it turned out to be just a mind game?
Avatar f tn The last time I had a mommo was about 9 months ago.. The said there were some clusters, but not to worry about them. Would this still be part of the Lymph Node?

Avatar f tn I had an ICD put in 1 1/2 years ago, I'm still experiencing pain and tenderness in my chest and simple task such as folding clothes causes a lot of strain and pressure on my left arm. I was told at the device check clinic that this is normal. I was wondering if anyone else with an ICD has these issues?
Avatar m tn I HAD KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY 9 WEEKS AGO. THE PAIN IS SO INTENSE. THE ONLY TIME IT SEEMS NOT TO HURT IS IF I CAN SLEEP. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY PILLS ALL THE TIME FOR PAIN. I JUST AM BESIDE MYSELF. I ASKED THE DR AT MY POST OP AND HE STATES THIS IS NORMAL.. MY KNEE ALSO CLICKS SOMETIMES. HE STATES THIS IS NORMAL TOO. PLEASE HELP. I NEED SOME ADVICE.
Avatar n tn Tonight I had a sudden pain between my shoulderblades and then the lightheadedness. The pain passed but I am still somewhat lightheaded. I do have atrial fib. dxed by 30 day monitor a year ago. I take sotalol 120mg 2 x a day. Could the lightheaded episodes be related to arrythmia? And should I be concerned about them since I have the ICD? It seems since I got the ICD the doctors just blow me off when I mention any palpitations.
Avatar m tn The later ICDs are more sophisticated and do a better of of identifying V-tach correctly and attempt to pace me out of V-tach before shocking. In the course of replacing tone ICD, I got an infection and the ICD and leads had to be removed and placed on the right side. Through all of this, I continued to exercise, but gave up competitive racing. In the last couple years, the V-tach returned about 1 or 2 times per month.
Avatar m tn A few days ago I had my ICD turned off. Have had it in place for four years and have hated every second. Am now looking into having the control unit removed. Does anyone know how difficult this is to have done. My Dr. does not want me to have it removed and even wants me to turn it back on. It has gone off once, bit my tongue almost off and broke a tooth. Enough already.
Avatar m tn or did the attempt the ablation accidently hit the node and you ended up with an ICD...or did they implant an ICD did an ablation and now you are on meds? Lots of questions i know but i don't get this. Most of all how long did this all happen would be the big thing....you need to give us a little more info whpiv so that we can all weigh in to help you here so you aren't so frustrated and give you our take on it...
Avatar m tn I will try to keep this short and tyvm for any replies. I am 9 months post op from total knee replacement. I have been taking 2 10/ 325 Norco's every 4 hours for the knee pain for the last 2 years. I am 46 years old and have had a difficult recovery from the surgery. Had my knee drained several times and had to cut rehab short due to swelling and Clunking in the knee. Its stiff, painful and is popping and shifting.
Avatar f tn My husband just recently had an ICD put in 9 days ago.. He has a very weak heart and is a prime candidate for sudden death is what his cardiologist says. Well, 2 days ago he got shocked 8 times in a 2 min. period and when he went to the emergency room they said it was unjustifiable and he shouldn't have gotten shocked. My husband is scared to death now and wishes he had never gotten this done.
Avatar m tn 1. While and ICD implant is a procedure, it is not really surgery. And ICD is typically placed on one day and pt goes home the next. Usually no anesthesia is needed. Risk is very minimal. 2. If your ejection fraction is low, the ICD will serve as an "insurance policy"--ie hopefully you'll never need it but you'd be sure glad you had it if your heart "tried to die" on you 3.
Avatar f tn I never saw that kind of reaction in my Dad after his ICD fired off. And at one point his ICD was firing off a few times a week (he was slipping into end stage heart failure). I think he should go back in and be checked. Something is going on and it's more than a bit of depression over being shocked. You might ask them to check his other body parts like lungs, liver and intestines. They tend to focus on the heart and forget there are other parts than can become sick.
