English translation: radiate

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:irradiar
English translation:radiate

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / symptoms
Spanish term or phrase: irradia
it's from a hospital report, so is in shorthand:

paciente ... inicia dolor en región dorso-lumbar que no irradia, no refeire incontinencia esfinteriana ni clínica neurológica, tos en aumento sin expectoración ni hemoptisis, no refiere síndrome general ni anorexia ni pérdida de peso

my instinct says a "non-throbbing", i.e., dull pain, but I don't want to assume too much.

TIA, MJ
