You need at least THREE!

2. Shin Splints
Description: Pain in the shin (tibia)-usually during exercise.
Causes: Calf muscles stretched, causing shin muscles to be over-used to compensate.

3. Shin Splints

4. Shin Splints Treatment
Anti-inflammatory, ice, reduced exercise for a few weeks (rest)

5. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Description: Fatigue (> 6 mos) with headaches, sore throat, muscle/joint pain.
Sleep and rest DON’T HELP
Causes: Unknown - genetic, stress related, an infection, or an autoimmune disorder.

6. Chronic Fatigue Syndrom

7. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Treatment
Pacing (setting daily schedules for activities, exercise and other uses of energy)

8. Muscular Dystrophy
Description: Muscles very weak, break down, replaced with fat deposits.
On-set any age, FAST or SLOW progression.
Causes: Genetic - varies based on underlying cause.
Atrophy means muscle lost

9. Muscular Dystrophy

10. Muscular Dystrophy

11. Muscular Dystrophy Treatment
Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy to work the muscles so that they will continue to function.

12. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Description: Repeatedly occurring numbness, tingling, burning or pain in fingers.
Causes: Tendon/muscle inflammation puts pressure on nerves into the hand (median nerve).

13. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

14. Carpel Tunnel Syndrom

15. Carpel Tunnel Syndrom

16. Carpel Tunnel Treatment
Stretching, brace, surgery, anti-inflammatory

17. Myasthenia Gravis
Description: Muscle fatigue that gets better with rest but worse with activity.
Eyelids, facial expressions, talking, swallowing, limbs.
Causes: Autoimmune disorder where body attacks muscles.

18. Myasthenia Gravis

19. Myasthenia Gravis Treatment
Thymus gland surgery

20. Tendinitis
Description: Pain, stiffness, burning around a joint. Worse with exercise & stress.
Causes: Tendon inflamed due to stretching or fatigue.
What do tendons connect?

21. Tendinitis

22. Tendinitis

23. Tendinitis

24. Tendinitis Treatment
Anti-inflammatory drug, physical therapy, RICE with gradual return to exercise
RICE means Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate

25. Pyomyositis
Description: Fever, muscle pain, pus-filled abscesses in the muscles, fatigue
Causes: Bacteria infection of the skeletal muscles (gluts, quads)

26. Pyomyositis

27. Pyomyotis

28. Pyomyositis

29. Pyomyositis Treatment
The abscess within the muscles must be drained surgically and then treated with antibiotics.
What other infection does this remind you of?
