What Causes Shoulder Pain?
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint with a large range of movement. Such a mobile joint tends to be more susceptible to injury. Shoulder pain can stem from one or more of the following causes:
1.Strains from overexertion2.Tendonitis from overuse3.Shoulder joint instability4.Dislocation5.Collar or upper arm bone fractures6.Frozen shoulder7. Pinched nerves (also called radiculopathy)

Cervical Spondylosis
Ideal diagnostics
1. Cervical Spondylosis is a general & nonspecific term that encompasses a broad spectrum of afflictions
2. Develops either Spontaneously with age or Secondary as the result of trauma or Pathological Conditions
3. With age loss of water in the disc – loss of absorber effect- secondary changes in facet joints & ligaments – Regeneration { Spur}
4. 3 Phases : [a] Dysfunction – [b] Instability – [c] Stabilization
5. “Soft Disc” herniation- Displaced nucleus Pulposes “Hard Disc” herniation – Posterior marginal osteophytes
Cervical Spondylosis
6. By age 60 – 65 , 95% male & 70% female nonsymptomatic show atleast 1 degenerative sign in the spine
7. Two most common sites C 5-6 disc { C6 root- Biceps} & C 6-7 disc { C7 root- Triceps}

Back Pain Culprit: Chronic Conditions
Several chronic conditions can lead to low back pain.Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, which can put pressure on the spinal nerves.Spondylitis refers to chronic back pain and stiffness due to severe inflammation of the spinal joints.Fibromyalgia causes widespread muscle aches, including back pain.

Back Pain Culprit: Herniated DiscThe spine's vertebrae are cushioned by gel-like discs that are prone to wear and tear from aging or injuries. A weakened disc may rupture or bulge, putting pressure on the spinal nerve roots. This is known as a herniated disc and can cause intense pain.

Spondylolysis
Ideal diagnostics
Ideal diagnostics
Spondylolysis is a condition in which the there is a defect in a portion of the spine called thepars interarticularis (a small segment of bone joining the facet joints in the back of the spine). With the condition of spondylolisthesis, the pars interarticularis defect can be on one side of the spine only (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral). The most common level it is found is at L5-S1, although spondylolisthesis can occur at L4-5 and rarely at a higher level.

Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the one below it.
The most common symptoms are lower back pain and/or leg pain that limits activity level.

Ideal diagnostics
Ideal diagnostics
Peripheral artery disease symptoms include:Painful cramping in your hip, thigh or calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs (claudication)
Leg numbness or weakness
Coldness in your lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side
Sores on your toes, feet or legs that won't healA change in the color of your legs
Hair loss or slower hair growth on your feet and legs
Slower growth of your toenailsShiny skin on your legsNo pulse or a weak pulse in your legs or feetErectile dysfunction in men
Ideal diagnostics
Risk factorsFactors that increase your risk of developing peripheral artery disease include:
SmokingDiabetesObesity (a body mass index over 30)High blood pressureHigh cholesterolIncreasing age, especially after reaching 50 years of ageA family history of peripheral artery disease, heart disease or stroke
High levels of homocysteine, a protein component that helps build and maintain tissuePeople who smoke or have diabetes have the greatest risk of developing peripheral artery disease due to reduced blood flow.

ARTERIAL DOPPLER
Even if you don't have symptoms of peripheral artery disease, you may need to be screened if you are:Over age 70Over age 50 and have a history of diabetes or smokingUnder age 50, but have diabetes and other peripheral artery disease risk factors, such as obesity or high blood pressure
Ideal diagnostics
ComplicationsIf your peripheral artery disease is caused by a buildup of plaques in your blood vessels (atherosclerosis), you're also at risk of developing:Critical limb ischemia. This condition begins as open sores that don't heal, an injury, or an infection of your feet or legs. Critical limb ischemia occurs when such injuries or infections progress and can cause tissue death (gangrene), sometimes requiring amputation of the affected limb.Stroke and heart attack. The atherosclerosis that causes the signs and symptoms of peripheral artery disease isn't limited to your legs. Fat deposits also build up in arteries supplying your heart and brain.

DVT
Ideal diagnostics
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis?Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein located deep inside your body. A clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid state to a gelatinous like solid state. Deep vein blood clots typically form in your thigh or lower leg, but they can also develop in other areas of your body. Other names for this condition include thromboembolism, post-thrombotic syndrome, and post-phlebitic syndrome.

DVT Causes

Ideal diagnostics
Who Is At Risk?DVT occurs most commonly in people who are over 60 years old. Certain conditions that alter how your blood moves through your veins can raise your risk of developing clots. These include:having an injury that damages your veinsbeing overweight, which puts more pressure on the veins in your legs and pelvishaving a family history of DVThaving a catheter placed in a veintaking birth control pills or undergoing hormone therapysmokingstaying seated for a long time while you’re in a car or on a plane, especially if you already have at least one other risk factor
Ideal diagnostics
Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of DVTSymptoms of DVT only occur in about half of the people who have this condition. Common symptoms to watch for include:
1. swelling in your foot, ankle, or leg on one sidecramping pain in your affected leg that usually begins in your calf2. pain in your foot and anklean area of skin that feels warmer than the skin on the surrounding areas3. skin over the affected area turning pale or a reddish or bluish color
Ideal diagnostics
Why Is DVT Dangerous?You can develop a pulmonary embolism if a blood clot moves to your lungs and blocks a blood vessel. This can cause serious damage to your lungs and other parts of your body.
You should get immediate medical help if you have signs of a pulmonary embolism such as:dizzinesssweatingchest pain that gets worse with coughing or inhaling deeplyrapid breathingcoughing up bloodrapid heart rate
Ideal diagnostics
Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis
1.keeping your blood pressure under control, giving up smoking, and losing weight if you’re overweight. 2.Moving your legs around when you’ve been sitting for a while also helps keep your blood flowing. Walking around after being on bed rest can prevent clots from forming. 3.Make sure you take any blood thinners your doctor prescribes if you’re having surgery, as this can lower your chance of developing clots afterwards.
