i have sickle cell anemia and have found comfort during crisis using ultra strength bengay patches...
I have sickle cell and scapular necrosis occurred because the none in my joints became soft from the many crises I had. My teeth also was affected and severe decaying occurred. My dentist said it was because of the necrosis and sickle cell.
Although sickle cell anemia(SS) and sickle cell disease(SC) are considered genetic mutations, I believe the question is...What are possible causes for a sickle cell attack? Anything that causes a constriction of the blood vessels would seem to be a cause. Smoking, coffee, and alcohol to name a few. Dehydration also appears to play a big role.

Mild synovitis in the facet joints refers to inflammation of the synovial lining of the joints that connect the vertebrae in the spine.

The incidence of sickle cell disease is equal in both men and women. However, it is believed that men who have the disease experience worse symptoms than women with the disease. A possible reason for this is the role of oestrogen in the female body. Oestrogen helps stimulate the production of nitric oxide. Scientists believe that nitric oxide has a key role to play in reducing the symptoms of a sickle cell crisis as it dilates blood vessels, giving the sickle shaped cells more room to pass through the vessels, preventing blockages which is the cause of sickle cell crisis.
