Rewrite each statement using common terminology. The first one is done for you.
1. Pain is located in the right cervical region with radiation into the ipsilateral brachial region.
(answer: pain is located in the right neck and radiates into the right upper arm)
2. The lesion is located in the right thorax just lateral to the mid-sagittal plane.

3. The patient reports numbness and tingling in the left lumbar area and pain in the contralateral femoral region.
4. There is a contusion located at the lateral aspect of the left crural region.
5. The laceration extends distally from the right antecubital region to the antebrachium.
6. The patient reports sharp right lower quadrant pain just lateral to the umbilicus.
7. The patient reported a tearing sensation while running in the right gluteal region extending distally to the ipsilateral popliteal region.
8. There was pain located at the right lateral tarsal region with subsequent numbness and tingling in the ipsilateral dorsum of the foot.
9. The patient demonstrated dull pain on orthopedic testing at the left antebrachium extending distally to the ipsilateral carpal region.
10. Palpation of the left axillary region demonstrated palpable lymph nodes extending into the ipsilateral anterior thorax.
11. The patient reported sudden severe pain originating in the right loin and extending inferior to the ipsilateral inguinal region.
12. Palpation demonstrated inflammation in the right scapular region extending superior and lateral to the ipsilateral acromial region.

13. The patient reported sharp cervical pain extending into the bilateral brachial regions.
14. The patient reported a recent fall on the sacral region with subsequent numbness extending bilaterally to the femoral regions.
15. There was tenderness at the right olecranon with subsequent sharp pain on palpation radiating distally to the dorsum of the hand.
