Should new shoes cause foot pain?
Footwear can be a contributor to foot pain. Poor fitting shoes in the short term can cause blisters, calluses, bruising and be a source of athlete's foot. The long-term effects may be bunions, corns, irritation of nerves and joints, misalignment of the toes, and the source of microtrauma injuries to the foot.
How does dencorub work?
In general they give heat- they increase blood supply to superficial muscles by opening capillaries and provide the less capillarised tissues such as tendons with much need blood baths to assist in repairing any microtrauma that a workout can cause. Many Athletes use it: (Mix Martial Artists, Footballers, Marathon Runners, Rugby Players and much more) Think of it as a quicker healing process for minute minute injuries! (sore hamstring, sore back, pulled muscles) :D
How do you cure Osca-Shlatters disease?
This is a disease of the knee (has a different name for other body parts)that is caused during children's growing periods where the tendon and the bone are not exactly in synch. In the old days, the cure was bedrest and so on, hoping to avoid any permanent problems. When my son had it, he used the ice and Tylenol and was allowed any activities he could work through as far as the pain. Once his growth slowed down, the problem was resolved. There were no residual effects. Osgood-Schlatters disease. Osgood-Schlatter disease is thought to be caused by chronic microtrauma and it is considered an overuse disorder. The main treatments are symptomatic, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, rest, and putting ice on the area after playing sports. http://www.osgoodschlatter.com/ http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/front/knee/osgood.htm http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/orthopedics/a/osgoodschlatter.htm Y-THINK-Y
What does plantar mean?
It is a painful condition in the heels of the feet (it can affect one only). It has something to do with layers of tissue moving over one another. Usually the movement is free; when the fascia (tissue layers) move less freely, it can cause a very bad dull pain. I had this in my left heel, and it could be so bad in the morning that I would have to limp. Acupuncture was very effective. I had 3 treatments a few months ago, and have been almost totally pain free since. I didn't much care for the treatments as they were being done, but I would go back in a heartbeat. Plantar Fasciitis is a very common cause of heel pain. It is inflammation of the plantar fascia of the foot. It causes heel pain which may radiate to the toes. It can occur as a result of repetitive microtrauma. It's an overuse injury. Plantar fasciitis is commonly caused by a heel spur which is a bony growth that occurs at the attachment of the plantar fascia to calcaneum. for details, visit,http://physiocures.blogspot.com

What is the pathophysiology of MRSA?
Methacillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an infection caused by bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus which are gram positive cocci. Microscopically, this organism is observed as irregular or grape-like clusters. Staphylococcus is derived from the Greek word staphyle which means "bunch of grapes". "Staphylococci are nonmotile, non-spore-forming, and catalase-positive bacteria. The cell wall contains peptidoglycan and teichoic acid. The organisms are resistant to temperatures as high as 50 ° Celsius, to high salt concentrations, and to drying. Colonies are usually large (6-8 mm in diameter), smooth, and translucent. (Emed). There are many different strands of Staphylococcus which are usually found on the skin and responsible for causing pimples and boils. Methacillin resistant staphylococcus aureus was first identified in the 1960's in several countries and the number of resistant strands has steadily risen with increasing use of antibiotics. MRSA is a strain of staphylococcus aureus that does not respond to many antibiotics making it resistant to them. Methacillin is a type of penicillin in which MRSA has driven its name from. MRSA can cause disease through tissue invasion and its toxins. The toxins produced from MRSA may exert the effects of this disease at sites that are distant from the focus of the infection and its colonization. It is proposed that events that lead to infection are initiated by transferring the bacteria to the site of infection usually via hands. This can be accomplished through an opening made by vascular catheterization or an operative incision or less obvious broken down skin seen in eczema or microtrauma that accompanies shaving. MRSA can also be spread by contaminated linens, towels and equipment.
Diabetes Foot Pain?
It is important to not ignore diabetes foot pain. Diabetes can cause complications to the feet and legs that can result in infection. It can lead to ampuation in severe cases. Foot care is important.
What is drummer's leg?
Drummers leg There is a rare but real condition that strikes drummers. The medical condition is common in the general population, mostly in older sedentary people with underlying serious medical conditions like cancer. It is called a Deep Venous Thrombosis and it can be career ending for a professional drummer. It is a blood clot that forms in the posterior leg somewhere between the calf and the lower hamstring. The signs are pain and swelling in the lower leg. In a drummers' situation, it arises from chronic microtrauma from the constant pounding of the foot on the bass drum. Once the clot forms the consequence may be the breaking of the clot from the deep veins of the leg. It will travel "downstream" and end up in the lung causing a Pulmonary Embolism (a blood clot to the lung)- Picture the cool segments on the TV show CSI to get a visual! Pulmonary Embolism frequently ends in death. The only treatment is strict bedrest for 72-96 hours and a strong bloodthinner (Warfarin/Coumadin) that must be monitored closely for 3-6 months or at the discretion of your doc. Too much Coumadin and bleeding occurs (nose, gums, urine, and sometimes into the brain). Too little Coumadin and the clot gets bigger and can compromise blood return from you leg resulting in painful swelling. Obviously, no playing drums for these patients. The chance for recurrence is quite high. So the best option is to not get one in the first place. How do you avoid one? Sometimes you can't. You can try stretching and maintaining good hydration. Another good idea is to go light on the stomping... you will get the added benefit of making your drum head lasting longer. Good Luck!
If you are diagnosed with Osteoarthritis on one part of your body what is the likelihood of if developing elsewhere?
Not necessarilytaking into account the huge variety of different reasons why one has osteoarthritis (some of which are listed below) it would be very difficult to say that this could spread to other parts of the body without a thorough physical examination aside from knowing that when has arthritis one is more likely to exhibit further further problems with the disease then in the case of one that has not been diagnosed with it. Endocrineproblems,Diabetes, acromegaly, hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, and obesity.Post traumatic conditions:Macro trauma, for example the results of an injury such as a broken bone resulting in the bone no longer lining up properly after it has healed, lost stability, or damage cartilage. Microtrauma may occur over time (chronically). An example of this would be repetitive movements or the overuse noted in several occupations.Inflammatory joint diseases: This category would include infected joints, chronic gouty arthritis, and rheumatoid disease.Metabolic: Diseases causing errors of metabolism such as Paget disease and Wilson disease.Congenital or developmental: anatomical problems such as unequal leg length may cause osteoarthritis.Genetic: A genetic defect may promote breakdown of the protective architecture of cartilage. Examples include collagen disturbances such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.Neuropathic: Diseases such as diabetes can cause nerve problems. The loss of sensation may affect how the body knows the position and condition of the joints or limbs. In other words, the body can't tell when it is injured.Other: Nutritional problems may cause osteoarthritis. Other diseases such as hemophilia and sickle cell are further examples.taking into account the huge variety of different reasons why one has osteoarthritis it would be very difficult to say that this could spread to other parts of the body without a thorough physical examination aside from knowing that when has arthritis one is more likely to exhibit further further problems with the disease then in the case of one that has not been diagnosed with it.
