Pain Flashcards
1
Q
What type of pain is a red flag
A
Constant unrelenting
2
Q
Differentiate peripheral VS central
A
P= pain travels further from irritation, decreases intensity C= pain travels toward irritation, increase intensity
3
Q
Differentiate chronic VS joint/soft tissue inflammation
A
Chronic= morning, improves with activity
Joint/soft tissue= mid day, worse with overwork
4
Q
Stages:
A
1) acute/inflammatory
2) subacute/proliferation
3) chronic/remodelling/maturation
5
Q
Describe acute stage
A
-4-10d
*clotting (bradykinins, neutrophils, macrophages)
Decrease bleeding= RICE, NSAIDs
Decrease pain= RICE
Decrease inflammation= METH
Promote good scar tissue= gentle ROM/massage, ultrasound
6
Q
Describe subacute stage
A
1-15d *granulation, scar tissue formation Collagen formation-weak/vulnerable Fiber orientation= AROM, gentle massage, ultrasound Protection= decrease stress
7
Q
Describe chronic stage
A
15d-6 month *scar tissue remodelling Granulation replaced by collagen Apoptosis of cells no longer needed Exercise, friction, regular activity
8
Q
Types of pain
A
1) mm
2) vascular
3) visceral
4) constant
5) mechanical
6) episodic
