JOINT DISEASE A combination of pain and stiffness ,

leading to loss of function, is a classic feature of joint disease.

Usually one component will predominates as stiffness in inflammation, and pain in mechanical joint problem.

Therefore specific questions will establish whether symptoms are mechanical (e.g. degenerative joint disease & mechanical tear) or inflammatory(e.g. rheumatoid arthritis or gout).

JOINT DISORDERS

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a disease of the spine in which there is gradual loss of mobility in the joints between the vertebrae. It occurs mainly in males between

the ages of 20 and 40.

Degenerative Disc DiseaseBased on clinical

profile, the study group was divided into 4 categories: degenerative disc disease (DDD) with intervertebral disc prolapse (IVDP), lumbar canal stenosis

(LCS) with IVDP, tuberculosis  spine and trauma.

Behcet's syndrome

Behcet's syndrome is a disease that involves inflammation of the blood vessels. It causes problems in many parts of the body.

The most common symptoms are-Sores in the mouthSores on the sex organsOther skin soresSwelling of parts of the eyePain, swelling and stiffness of the joints

Behcet's syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is fairly common. Symptoms include numbness, tingling and a burning pain in the hand. The symptoms start off by occurring at night, often waking the patient, later they may also be experienced during the day and in some cases be so severe they can interfere with the normal use of the hand.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH)

DISH is a form of too much bone growth along the sides of the vertebrae of the spine.

It involves inflammation and bone growth where tendons and ligaments attach to bone, such as the

elbows, knees and the heels of the feet.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a disorder that affects the connective tissues that support the skin, muscles,tendons and ligaments. People with EDS disorders tend to have loose joints, skin that stretches easily, and a tendency to bruise.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is the name given to widespread pain affecting the muscles but not the joints. It is a chronic condition, but it is not life threatening or progressive and does not cause permanent damage to either muscles, bones or joints.

Gonococcal arthritis

Gonococcal arthritis is an infection of the joints, tendons and muscles that occurs in those suffering from gonorrhea. It affects more women than men and usually appears before the age of 30.

Gout

Gout is a chemical defect which causes the accumulation in the bloodstream of a waste product of metabolism also known as uric acid. It is the deposition of

crystals of uric acid in the skin, joints and kidneys which is responsible for the symptoms.

GoutWhat is gout? Gout

is condition characterized by an overload of uric acid in the body and recurring attacks of joint inflammation (arthritis). Chronic gout can

lead to deposits of hard lumps of uric acid in and around the joints, decreased kidney function, and kidney stones.

BUNIONSHallux Abducto Valgus (HAV), more

commonly known as 'Bunions' by patients.

It also gets referred to as 'Diamond Foot' due to the shape of the foot at its most deformed.

The skin over the bony protrusion (the head of the 1st metatarsal / long bone in the foot) feels sore from rubbing against the inside of their footwear.

BUNIONS

Juvenille Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)

Juvenile arthritis refers to a "childhood arthritis" for children under the age of sixteen affected by inflammatory arthritis. Children can develop almost all types of arthritis that affect adults, but the most common type that affects children is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Juvenille Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a progressive and potentially serious disease. It can affect nearly every organ in the body. Among the complications that may be seen are inflammation of the membrane lining the

heart and the smooth membranous sac enveloping the heart, pleurisy, kidney lesions and disorders of the central nervous system and skin rash.

Lymes Disease

Lyme disease begins by a bite from an insect that is infected by bacterium. The bacterium enters the body and travels to different parts of the body. If untreated, it can

progress to produce an infection that involves inflammation affecting joints, the nervous system, the heart and the skin.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints, usually accompanied by pain and stiffness.

It causes a great deal of pain and discomfort to a large number of people and affects both males and females alike. The cause of the disease is not known but it is described as a degenerative disorder developing with age.

Osteomalacia

Osteomalacia is a disease affecting mainly adult women, where the bones are generally softened due to the

impaired deposition of calcium. It is thought to be caused by lack of vitamin D.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones are generally thinned. From the age of 20 everyone’s bones

become progressively thinner with age. In osteoporosis this thinning becomes faster than normal.

Pagets Disease

Pagets Disease is a disease where areas of bone become thickened and soft and there is an increase in the

total number of bone cells. It is quite common in old age especially in men.

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR)

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is muscular pains throughout the body starting abruptly in the neck and

shoulder muscles and then spreading down the back to the buttocks and the thighs accompanied by

stiffness, headache, fever and generally feeling unwell.

Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a form of joint inflammation affecting individuals with the skin disorder psoriasis.Psoriasis affects 23% of the UK population.

Approximately 10-20% of those with psoriasis may develop some form of arthritis.

Joints are typically stiff after resting, early morning or resting in the evening.Tissues such as ligaments, tendons around the joints may be involved.

Raynaud's phenomenon

Raynaud’s phenomenon is most common in young women. First the fingertips go white and cold, the fingers

become numb and may become stiff due to the blood supply being temporarily cut off. The condition may be

slight or severe. In severe cases small ulcers may form on the fingertips and the nails may also be affected.

Reactive arthritis

Reactive arthritis is caused by bacteria travelling through the body to the joints between bones. The joints swell and become stiff and painful. It normally affects the joints of the knees, ankles or toes. In extreme cases it can also affect the eyes or skin or muscles.

Repetitive strain injury

Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is used to describe a range of painful conditions of the muscles, tendons and other soft tissues. It is mainly caused by repetitive use of part of the body. It is usually related to a job or occupation, but leisure activities can also be a cause.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the connective tissue of the joints. At the onset there may be a general feeling of being unwell, fatigue, and pain and stiffness in the joints. It usually begins with the joints in the fingers spreading to the wrists and elbows.

Trauma Fracture- any break in boneClosed or simple fracture – bone

broken, broken ends do not break the skin

Fracture cont.Open or compound fracture-

broken bones pierce the skin and can lead to infection.

Open reduction –surgical intervention with devices such as wires, metal plates, or screws to hold the bones in alignment.

Fracture cont…Greenstick – in children, bone

bent and splintered but never completely separates.

Fracture cont…Comminuted –

splintered or broken into many pieces.

Treatment- cast, possible surgery depending how bad the break

is.

DislocationDislocation – bone

displaced from proper position in joint.

Sprain- sudden or unusual motion, ligaments torn but joint not dislocated.

Treatment – traction pulling force used to hold the bones in place used for

fractures of long bones.
