This is what I really plan to work on next. I have loads of abbreviations, but have never had many for phrases like "anterior knee pain," "posterior neck pain," etc. Well, the Grow method is so perfect for these. So they will come. And you can see how it would produce big time-saving results. I guess my only sorrow is that I never considered that method of first three letters, then a letter for each following word, until it was posted here. And for some phrases, I continue to think other methods are best. I guess I'm a mix of a lot of systems. Having had lbp for low back pain forever, I find it so easy to just use lowbp now for lower back pain instead. And, anyway, I think I can get a lot of mileage out of adopting the method for these directional type words. Maybe I'll post a good list when I have a lot of them! Maybe some of you already have a good list, eh? Share if so!

lbpa - lower back pain
bpa - back pain
ba - back
loba - lower back
to go with the lbp

The directionals, I admit, I have some trouble with.
antlat - anterolateral
antlaty - anterolaterally
pstlat - posterolateral
pstlaty - posterolaterally

Those I have. But most of the rest of the combinations? not so much.

antr = anterior
posr = posterior
sepl = septal
latl = lateral
apil = apical
basl = basal
infr = inferior
supr = superior
antspl = anteroseptal
antbsl = anterobasal
antltl = anterolateral
infapl = inferoapical
infspl = inferoseptal
infltl = inferolateral
infbsl = inferobasal
posltl = posterolateral

anty = anteriorly
posy = posteriorly
latly = laterally
infy = inferiorly
supy = superiorly

etc.

I don't have many with the particular anatomy such as anterior knee pain either. Here is some of what I do have.....
