RA

Medical (general)
An annoying abbreviation with absolutely no context.
From the "medical history" section of a discharge summary.
55 year old male patient with multiple myeloma.
"RA à l'âge de 12 ans"
Not mentioned again.
I have found "rétrécissement aortique" - but not at the age of 12 surely.
Any ideas?

Comment: "There was no way of knowing which was the correct answer - so I had to flag it for the client. Thanks your your range of suggestions. "Rachi-anesthésie" was particularly interesting, as the patient was having back surgery, so this could have been relevant "
