    Study Notes

    Causes of Strains

    • Acute injury can cause a strain
    • Prolonged overuse can lead to a chronic strain
    • Twisting or pulling movements can cause a strain

    Mechanism of Strain Injury

    • Tendons can become strained when stretched beyond their capacity
    • Examples of excessive stretch include hyperextension injuries of an arm or leg
    • Eccentric contraction of the muscle while it is lengthening can cause a strain injury
    • A tear of the muscle or tendon can also occur as a result of a strain injury

    Myalgia (Muscle Pain)

    • Can result from systemic infections, such as influenza, coxsackievirus, measles, and other illnesses
    • Can be caused by chronic disorders, such as fibromyalgia and polymyalgia rheumatica
    • Can be a side effect of certain medications, including cholesterol-lowering agents like HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors
    • Abuse of alcohol may lead to acute alcoholic myopathy
    • Heavy physical activity, repetitive movement, and lifting of heavy weights can exacerbate the condition, whereas light-moderate activity is generally helpful

    Comparison of Musculoskeletal Disorders

    Location

    • Myalgia: affects muscles of the body
    • Tendonitis: occurs in tendon locations around joint areas
    • Bursitis: involves inflammation of the bursae within joints
    • Sprain: occurs when a ligament is stretched or torn within a joint
    • Strain: occurs when a muscle is hyperextended or torn
    • Osteoarthritis: affects weight-bearing joints, such as knees, hips, low back, and hands

    Signs

    • Myalgia: possible swelling (rare)
    • Tendonitis: warmth, swelling, erythema
    • Bursitis: warmth, edema, erythema, and possible crepitus
    • Sprain: swelling, bruising
    • Strain: swelling, bruising
    • Osteoarthritis: non-inflammatory joints, narrowing of joint space, restructuring of bone and cartilage, resulting in joint deformities, and possible joint swelling

    Symptoms

    • Myalgia: dull, constant ache (sharp pain relatively rare); weakness and exercise-induced pain
    • Tendonitis: mild-severe pain generally occurring after use; loss of range of motion
    • Bursitis: constant pain that worsens with movement or application
    • Sprain: initial severe pain followed by pain, particularly upon movement
    • Strain: initial severe pain with continued pain upon movement
    • Osteoarthritis: dull joint pain relieved by rest; joint stiffness

    Myalgia (Muscle Pain)

    • Can result from systemic infections, such as influenza, coxsackievirus, measles, and other illnesses
    • Can be caused by chronic disorders, such as fibromyalgia and polymyalgia rheumatica

    • Strain: initial severe pain with continued pain upon movement
    • Osteoarthritis: dull joint pain relieved by rest; joint stiffness

    Rectal Application of Medication

    • Intrarectal applicators are preferred over digital application because they allow the drug product to reach the rectal mucosa, which is inaccessible by finger.
    • Intrarectal applicators should be lubricated by spreading the product around the applicator tip before insertion into the anorectal area.
    • Effective intrarectal applicators feature lateral openings and holes in the tip to facilitate application and ensure coverage of the rectal mucosa during anorectal administration.

    Analgesics, Anesthetics, and Antipruritics

    • Menthol, juniper tar, and camphor are safe and effective for external perianal disorders.
    • These agents are formerly classified as “counterirritants.”
    • Camphor is seen mostly with accidental oral ingestion, especially in children.

    Corticosteroids

    • Approximately 60% of topical anorectal agents contain corticosteroids.
    • Corticosteroids act as a vasoconstrictor and antipruritic.
    • They produce lysosomal membrane stabilization and antimitotic activity.
    • Indications for corticosteroids include relief of itching, discomfort, and irritation.
    • Corticosteroids are used to shrink and decrease swelling of hemorrhoidal tissues.
