What is the difference between Cervicalgia and arthritis?

Cervicalgia means simply a pain in the neck. cervic- means neck and -algia means pain.Arthritis is the inflammation of a joint caused by various disorders and diseases. arthr- means joint and -itis means inflammation. Arthritis can be in any joint - your finger, hip, neck, knee, etc.Arthritis could cause cervicalgia if it is located in the spine at the level of the vertebrae in the neck. But, other things can also cause cervicalgia, such as trauma and whiplash, sprain or strain, stress and tension, etc. and not only arthritis.Cervicalgia would be the symptom, and arthritis would be one condition that could cause that symptom.


What should you do if your arthritis is so bad that you cannot put weight on your wrist?

AnswerI can certainly sympathize with you because my mother had the problem and my aunt has it. I suggest you go to a specialty drug store and get a Tensor bandage or something else they may recommend to help keep your wrist from shifting (sort of like something one would use for carpal tunnel) and you see this on especially cashiers in stores or anyone that is on the computer for a long period of time. This is usually caused by repetitive action.I would also like to point out that you can see a specialist (if you haven't already) for arthritis and there are several medications to get you through the rough spots, but frequent blood testing should come along with it because these meds can be hard on the liver. However, short-term (such as colder weather if that is what bothers you) should be just fine and the specialist will wean you off the medication he has you on.When grocery shopping most large grocery chains will ask if you need help. If they don't ask! Get one of those smaller carts (on two wheels) so once home you can push or pull the cart into the house. Try to keep the strain off your wrists and if you do a lot of repetitive work such as being on the computer, knitting or needlework then give your wrists a rest. It's very important that you do keep your wrists mostly active (even though painful) because it will be a lot worse for you if you don't use them to some degree. The Tensor bandage enables you to do this without moving the wrist too dramatically (turning from side-to-side.)If your arthritis is so bad that you are unable to carry on normal activity's or even before that, it is important that you check in with a rheumatologist and find out exactly what you are suffering from. Rheumatoid arthritis for example needs to be brought under control as it can totally destroy the joints it effects leaving you no choice but to replace them. this and a lot of pain can usually be avoided with the correct medication.


What causes the strain energy underneath a fault line within the crust of the earth?

There is NO SUCH THING as "strain energy"Strain is the response of a system to an applied stress. When a material is loaded with a force, it produces a stress, which then causes a material to deform. Engineering strain is defined as the amount of deformation in the direction of the applied force divided by the initial length of the material.Thus the energy is the FORCE - the stress.The stresses present in a fault system are caused by the convection currents in Earth's mantle (driven by the heat in Earth's core). Once the stress builds up to a point that exceeds the strength of the rocks comprising the fault system, the rock fractures and moves and this is the strain.
