Definition of shotty according to medterms.com
Subject: Definition of shotty according to medterms.com
Shotty: Resembling shot or pellets of lead, shotgun pellets and, hence, hard and round. The term "shotty" was in use in the 19th century. It is now generally obsolete but it is still in medicinal usage.
Shotty is very commonly used in describing the feel of lymph nodes (the lymph glands) when they are palpated (felt) through the skin. "Shotty" lymph nodes are ones that are not only hard and round but also small and surely of no consequence.
No consequence is not always the case with shotty. The pustules (the little pockets of pus) in smallpox are said to feel shotty, according to D.A. Henderson, the director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Smallpox Eradication Unit from its inception in 1966 to 1977. "Smallpox pustules have a dimple, a dent in the center. Doctors say that the pustules have a 'shotty' feel, like shotgun pellets. You can roll them between your fingertips under the skin," Henderson recounted (quoted by Richard Preston in The New Yorker, July 12, 1999).

Subject: Eisel nodes?
Has anyone heard of Eisel nodes? One of my clients is a chiropractor who says it is a node that can form particularly over the SI joint and can be very painful. I have searched everywhere and cannot find it. I don't doubt my client but I would like to know if it goes by any other name and/or anyone has run across it before. Many thanks.

Subject: ESIL nodes?
ESIL nodes, for: episacroiliac lipomas? Just saw one site with it.
Subject: ESIL's nodes
The proper spelling is ESIL which stands for episacroiliac lipomas. A benign condition of fatty mass or masses over the sacroiliac joint or joints. This can commonly become inflammed or irritated and cause pain. Once inflammation is controlled the pain is relieved. The nodes will likely remain palpable, but non-tender.
