    Study Notes

    • Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread pain and tenderness in the body for at least three months.
    • Previously, doctors used to check for tender points on the body to diagnose fibromyalgia, but new guidelines from the American College of Rheumatology do not require this exam.
    • The main diagnostic factor for fibromyalgia is widespread pain throughout the body in at least four of five specific regions: upper left and right, lower left and right, and the axial region.
    • Other conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus may increase the likelihood of developing fibromyalgia.
    • Your doctor may perform various tests to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms, such as blood tests (CBC, ESR, CCP test, RF, thyroid function tests, ANA, celiac serology, Vitamin D), and vitamin D tests.
    • Medications like pain relievers (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium), antidepressants (duloxetine, milnacipran), and anti-seizure drugs (Gabapentin) can help reduce pain and improve sleep in fibromyalgia patients.
    • Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and counseling are examples of therapies that can help reduce the impact of fibromyalgia on your body and life.
    • Anterior knee joint pain is felt at the front of the knee, often during activities that involve bending the knee, and can be associated with various medical conditions such as patellofemoral pain syndrome, patellar tendonitis, chondromalacia, iliotibial band syndrome, osteoarthritis, meniscal tears, and ACL injury.
    • Prevention measures for anterior knee joint pain include strengthening the muscles around the knee, maintaining a healthy weight, wearing proper footwear, using correct form during exercises, and avoiding prolonged periods of kneeling or squatting.
    • An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments that support the ankle stretch beyond their limits and tear. Ankle sprains are common and can occur to people of all ages and activity levels.
    • Diagnosis of an ankle sprain is typically done through physical examination and medical history, and treatment may include rest and activity modification, ice and compression, physical therapy, pain medication, corticosteroid injection, and bracing or taping.
    • Prevention of ankle sprains includes wearing proper footwear, using correct form during activities, and avoiding uneven or slippery surfaces.
