What is facet arthropathy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The facet joints connect the posterior elements of the vertebral bodies to one another. Like the bones that form other joints in the human body, such as the hip, knee, or elbow, the articular surfaces of the facet joints are covered by a layer of smooth cartilage, surrounded by a strong capsule of ligaments, and lubricated by synovial fluid. J

Just like the hip and the knee, the facet joints can also become arthritic and painful, and they can be a source of back pain. The pain and discomfort that is caused by degeneration and arthritis of this part of the spine is called facet arthropathy, which simply means a disease or abnormality of the facet joints.

What is moderate bilateral facet arthropathy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This sounds like a diagnosis someone discovered on a medical report.

Mild is a rather obvious term, meaning only slight and perhaps the early phase of a problem.

Bilateral means on both sides or opposite sides of a part of the body, usually meaning on the right and left side of the body.

Facet refers to the joint or articulation where two parts of the spine connect at the back part of the spinal column. A facet joint is a small structure that acts like a hinge or point of contact between two connecting spinal bones (vertebrae) to offer support while still allowing movement in the spine.

Osteoarthropathy is a term meaning early osteoarthritis, in which it is suspected that early joint cartilage softening and breakdown has occurred, with possible slight or mild bone changes that are typical of arthritis.

Overall, the term means a doctor believes that someone has early osteoarthritis in the facet joints in an unidentified part of the spine, probably causing mild to moderate and occasional spinal pain and reduced movement when aggravated by excess movement or standing.

How many types of drugs are known to exist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many different categories of drugs:

Stimulants:

Stimulants speed up or stimulate the central nervous system and can make the users feel more awake, alert or confident. Stimulants increase heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure. Other physical effects include reduced appetite, dilated pupils, talkativeness, agitation and sleep disturbance.

Nicotine, caffeine and ephedrine are the most common stimulants.

Hallucinogens.

Hallucinogens cause the user to experience things that are not real. They may see things that are not really there, mentally think things that really don't make much sense, see things that are logically impossible, see shapes, talk to people or creatures that are not really there.

One of the most common hallucinogens is Lysergic Acid (LSD). This causes the user to have euphoric hallucinogens, and many people have had religious experiences from it. The effects of it can last up to 12 hours.

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is regarded as one of the strongest hallucinogens. It is contained in many plants and is also generated in your brain. When an unborn baby becomes conscious, large amounts of DMT are generated by the brain. Milliseconds before you die, you receive a massive dose of DMT. When you sleep, dreams are actually hallucinations due to DMT and other substances.

This drug is extracted from many plants and smoked. When users are conscious they drug usually see patterns, aliens, or a phenomena called "Machine Dwarfs". The effects of this drug only last 5-10mins, however it feels like a couple of hours up to a lifetime for the user.

Salvia divinorum is another common hallucinogen, it is legal in many countries, and is also regarded as one of the strongest naturally occurring hallucinogens. It effects are very similar to DMT, however it is not as strong. Its effects last 5-10mins.

What is the safest pain reliever to take when you have high blood pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the hypertension medication. If you want a pain killer that does not increase blood pressure, then paracetamol is a good choice. The worst choice would be anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac. These medications can increase the blood pressure by themselves. In addition, they tend to interact with hypertension medications. For example, these medications increase the risk of renal failure with ACE-inhibitors and sartans, and may also increase the risk of hyperkalaemia with these medications too. Opioid analgesics do not increase blood pressure, however they may interact with anti-hypertensives that are drowsy, such as methyldopa.

Your best bet is to check with a pharmacist or doctor before using anything because it can get very complex.

What are some things you can do to find out if you are a sociopath?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

These are completely different and independent diagnosis, thus one could be any of these:

  • bipolar
  • sociopath
  • bipolar & sociopath

Bipolar is a mood disorder and is characterized by extreme variation of mood (manic highs and depressive lows). Bipolar episodes are usually self terminating and between them the person is completely "normal". Treatment with medications (i.e. mood stabilizers) is very effective at both terminating and preventing episodes.

Sociopathy is a personality disorderoften described informally as having a complete lack of conscience. Such people are only able to act in their own personal interest and have no empathy for others or ability to understand that other people have feelings and needs of their own. Many sociopaths are violent criminals. There is no treatment that can create a conscience when one is born without it.

What would cause sharp pains that radiate down arm after a shoulder injury?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the pain radiates to the fingers (typically the ring and pinky fingers) and can be felt down the nerve path (typical of sharp pains) from the shoulder down the arm, then the problem is likely in the Cervical spine and not the shoulder. Few people realize that the nerves which control the arms run from the cervical spine through the shoulder and into the arms and hands.

The problem feels like it's a pinched nerve in the shoulder, but the pain radiates down the nerve path, usually on the outside of the bicep then down the inner part of the arm to the hand. You usually don't feel much, if anything, in the neck unless the disk injury is severe enough.

The only way to determine a cervical disk problem is to see a Neurosurgeon, and imaging of the cervical spine (CT or MRI) are taken. This is a problem they deal with every day, and most can tell just by looking at you without an exam if the injury is severe enough. It's important not to waste any time either - left untreated or undiagnosed, the problem will cause increasing pain to the point where your fingers will begin to go numb and the use of the arm is severely restricted within a matter of weeks. Limiting physical activity is important as well, as further injury can cause permanent damage.

If the problem is disk related, the pain is usually constant and severe to the point where most people find it difficult to deal with. It can be helped with anti-inflammatories, but until it's diagnosed by MRI or CT it's only a temporary option. It's important also to never ask for pain meds directly, and to see a nerve specialist as opposed to an Orthopedist, Osteopath, or similar doctor. Asking for pain meds can get you labeled as a "drug seeker", and if so tagged you'll find it impossible to get an accurate diagnosis.

Why is there referred shoulder pain with cholecystitis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This occurs as a result of a concept called?referred pain. ?Essentially, as the signal for pain is sent from the gall bladder to the spinal cord, it gets mixed up with signals from the back of your right shoulder. ?This results in the brain getting the signal that you have pain in the right shoulder blade. ?There is absolutely no pathology in the right shoulder, it is simply a misinterpretation on the part of the nervous system. ?The same process occurs when a person has a heart attack and they perceive left arm or jaw pain. ?In this second scenario the patient has absolutely nothing wrong with their left arm, their brain just perceives that cardiac pain as occurring in the arm.

What is the reason for pain when you have a loss of disc height?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are 22 vertebral discs in the spine that act as shock absorbers for the nerve system, as well as to separate the two vertebrae that they are located between. When all is working as it should the spinal nerves and the spinal cord will protected and function as they should.

If a spinal disc becomes thinner than it should, and loses its normal height, it will not function well to absorb shock and it will allow the two bones it is placed between to come closer together. This will allow the spinal nerves to receive more impact and shock from normal daily activity and it will make the normal nerve passageway for the spinal nerve smaller than it should be. These changes allow nerve compression to occur, and this can cause pain and other symptoms like numbness, weakness and and muscle spasm. The pain that is felt can be pain near the spine where the disc is thinner or the pain can occur anywhere along its length, or both.
