Symptoms Investigating Flashcards
Low back pain
Can. Be mechanical problem
Cancer, infection, fracture,visceral disease
Pain form
Pain from visceral structure = located anterior chest wall or abdominal region
Retro peritoneal visceral organs = belly pain- determine back pain
Pain generation = dull ache, stiffness, mild or moderate
Joint hyper mobility symptoms
Widespread and persistent pain with repetition stiffness fatigue sleep deprivation
Pain characterized
Bone= dull deep persistent
Muscle = blunt dull pain
Nerve= sharp widespread electric shock
Symphatetic nerve = burning, pinching,ache, pressure
Vascular = throbbing pulsating,pounding
Visceral = cramps ,dull ache
Nociceptive pain
Mechanical
Inflammatory
Ischemic
Mechanical
Localized pain , pain with stretching,compression movement
No pain when you wake up but pain when getting out of the bed, mild or moderate response to basic drugs
Inflammatory pain
Persistent unstable pain
Getting worse when you move
Night pain
Restricted movement due to pain
Response to non steroid anti inflammatory drugs
Ischemic pain
Intermittent pain
Prolonged static posture- aggressive the pain
Changes of position- relieve the pain
Behavior of symptoms visceral pain
Complaining about intermittent thoracic pain
Reduces pain after eating = duodenal ulcer
Increase pain after eating = gallbladder
Symptoms that move from one place to another = neurological, endocrine, rheumatic disorders
Night pain
Is the pain wakes you up from sleep it’s serious disease maybe cancer or infection but if the patient says the can go back to sleep then it’s not serious
The flag system
Red flag = very sever problem
Yellow flags = psychological problems
Blue flag = social problems
Red flag
Pain increases no change, wight lost, weakness if it getting worse, for neck pain loss if sensation worsens at night , for back pain urine problems caud equina syndrome
Also if Hoffman and Babaeski is positive we cannot treat the patient
Pt asess L.4 L.5 S.1 Dermatones
L4 motor integrity = quadriceps, tibialis anterior
L5 motor internal = extensor hallucis longus, evertor
S1 motor integrity = ankle plantar flexors
Compartment syndrome
Pain that occurs due to pressure within the muscles that will cause decreasing blood flow
Sight and symptoms of compartment syndrome
Swelling and bleeding
Pain
Palpable tenderness
Numbness
Weakness of the movement
Faint pulse
Spinal accessory nerve
Weakness of shoulder abduction
Lack of scapular stabilization
Dull pain, weakness and dropping shoulder
Axillary nerve
Weakness of shoulder abduction and flexion
Lack of sensation in the lateral aspect of upper arm
Long thoracic nerve
Serratus anterior weakness
Winging scapula
Suprascapular nerve
Weakness of shoulder abduction and ER
pain is deep and poorly localized
Fracture
Pain , tenderness, swelling, ecchymosis
Reynoud’s phenomenon
- Hands or feet that blanch go blue and turn red when exposed to cold or emotional stress
- Pain and tingling in hands when they turn red
- Past medical history for rheumotid arthritis, occlusive vascular disease, smoking
Complex regional pain syndrome
- Trauma, fracture
- Severe aching, cutting, boring pain hypersensitivity
- Area swollen, warm and erythematous
- Pain not response to typical analgesics
