HIP PAIN
ABCDE
Avascular Necrosis, Trochanteric Bursitis, slipped Capital Femoral,
Dislocation and Fracture of Head of Femur, (Entorse)Muscle Sprain.
BACK PAIN.
Rule out FIRST before to consider muscle strain( no Rx wanted):
Fracture, Infection, Radiculopathy and Cauda equine Sd, Spinal cord
Stenosis, Tumor
Urinary accident, stool accident, change in appetite and weight loss,
urinary symptom
LIMCOTS
Lumbar spine stenosis
Intervetebral disk herniation, Infections
Myeloma, Metastasis prostatic cancer
Cauda equina syndrome, Conus medullary syndrome
Osteoarthritis
Trauma, TB
Strain( spinal muscle strain)
Metastatic prostatic cancer: progressive lower back pain worse at night,
not relieve by rest with urinary retention.
MM
Disk herniation: lower back pain that irradiate to the buttock, knee, L4, L5,
S1 , positive straight leg raising.
Lumbar spinal stenosis: Lower back pain increasing with standing and
walking, decreasing with sitting and leaning forward.
Lumbar muscle strain: Lower back pain after activity with paraspinal
muscle tenderness
Lumbar vertebra fracture: Lower back pain with vertebral tenderness.
Degenerative arthritis. Lower back pain relieved by rest exacerbated by
activity
WEAKNESS NUMBNESS
Weakness/Numbness(DDPP)
Distribution (Unilateral, bilateral proximal or distal)
Duration (transient, permanent)
Progression: ascending, descending
Pain (headache, neck pain, back pain)
1. If DDPP lead to Paraplegia( V,N,NM,M): urine stool accident,
numbness muscle pain, rash, stiffness, cold intolerance double
vision, difficulty swallowing, recent infection, recent camping
history, fever, weight change
Vertebral (Tumor of Vertebral canal, with CES or CMS, acute transverse
myelitis,)
Neural: GBS, Polyneuropathy
NM: Myasthenia Gravis, Tick bone Paralysis
Myopathy: CDE
Tumor of Vertebral Canal:
CES: Back pain, paraplegia, urinary retention, fecal incontinence saddle
anesthesia, and loss of sensation below the lesion, hyporeflexia
CMS: Back pain, bilateral spastic paralysis, perianal anesthesia, urinary
retention, fecal incontinence, no sensory loss, hyperreflexia
Acute Transient Myelitis: Back pain, paraplegia, urinary retention, fecal
incontinence, loss of sensation below the lesion.
Acute polymyelitis: Paraplegia, loss of sensation below the lesion, no
vaccination.
Guillain Barr Syndrom: ascending Paraplegia, loss of distal sensation, hx
of recent infection
Peripheral neuropathy( polyneurpaty): ascending paralysis, loss of distal
sensation( gloves and stocking distribution), diabetes, B12, Alcoholic
ANKLE PAIN
Septic arthritis: Sudden Onset of Ankle pain, swelling redness, Inability to
walk, Fever, hx trauma and surgery or discharge
Gouty arthiritis: SO ankle pain, swelling, redness, worsened by walk, Fever,
Big toe pain, Hx of heavy alchohol cunsumption
Pseudogouty arthritis: Sundden Osnet of Ankle pain, Swelling, redness,
worsen by walk, Fever, precipitated by trauma, surgery,
Ligament strain: SO ankle pain, swelling and redness, worsen by walk, Felt
Pop sensation after Hx of trauma (twisted ankle)
Ankle fracture: As Ligament sprain
ACL tear: SO keen pain, swelling, redness, worsened by walking, Knee
instability, and Felt Pop sensation after trauma
Meniscal Tear: Intermittent pain, swelling and lock up when walking( wear
and tear old age, trauma for young)
OA: Progressive ankle pain, worsen by walk, relieve by rest, stiffness,
Morton neuroma
Plantar fasciitis: icing, Taping decrease the stress of the facia acutely to
improve pain.heel lift( decrease the travel of plantar facia), stretching**
multiple time a day and night splint( help flacia to heel in stretch
position),Orthodic control foot position,
Carpal tunnel sd: Progressive foot surface burning pain with walking or
standing, numbness, positive tinel or phalen sign. : hx of foot fracture:
Calcaneal malleolus, talus fracture,(Foot inversion with brace, CTC
injection, surgical decompression)
Motor neuroma: Pain and numbness when walking at the base between
the 2/3rd toes relieved by rest and removing shoes.( Rest and massage,
Ice, Arche support with special shoes metatarsal pad,
RICE decrease swelling of sprain because it delays recovery.
Splint(short period of time) vs brace
JOINT PAIN.
SIQORA,
Joint characteristic
Stiffness( ortho inflama) of any part, where, how long it takes,
Ortho : is related to an invent, knee lock, do you walk alot( ankle)
Infl : Fever, out of energy, weight loss, appetite, sore in mouth that doesnt,
skin rash, phosensivty, discharge,
ORTHOPEDIC CAUSES to consider in ALL JOINTS.
CF :Pain with mvmt, relieved by rest.
Tenderness and swelling for every of them, more localized in tendintis,
bursitis
Fracut
Always ask for XR to rule out, even no hx of trauma.
Fracture of dislocation(Shoulder hip), Tenditis, Bursitis, Ligament strain,
Muscle sprain or spasm.
