We do not know whether there is any connection between these findings on X-rays and how much pain people have. Many people with severe degenerative changes on X-rays have no pain at all, while others with a lot of pain have fairly normal X-rays. [douleurchronique.org]

- Morning Stiffness
Clinical examination was performed in 68 joints, and we retrieved data on hand function, pain and global disease activity (all using a visual analogue scale (VAS)), morning stiffness and ferritin levels. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Articular manifestations are common, and include arthralgias, arthritis, and morning stiffness, which in some cases can be confused with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
Patients had an average of 8 tender joints and 6 hours of morning stiffness. Five patients were positive for antinuclear antibody and 3 for rheumatoid factor. [sogacot.org]
The disease usually begins gradually with fatigue, morning stiffness (lasting more than one hour), widespread muscle aches, loss of appetite, and weakness. Eventually, joint pain appears. [charaka.org]
The researchers also found that, at patient diagnosis, 64% presented with polyarticular, rheumatoid factor-negative disease and 39% reported morning stiffness with an average of four active and four limited joints. [healio.com]
Neurologic
- Flaccid Paralysis
Sitting imbalance, an audible cracking noise upon transfer, pain in an otherwise insensitive area and a change in the neurological status seem to be the most frequent ones. 3, 4, 8, 13 Noteworthy changes in the spasticity, usually toward a flaccid paralysis [nature.com]
Workup
History and neurological workup revealed a neuropathy most consistent with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type II. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Laboratory workup revealed antinuclear antibodies, anti–double-stranded DNA antibodies, anti-Ro (SS-A) antibodies, non–nephrotic-range proteinuria, and leukopenia. Testing for rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibodies was negative. [nejm.org]
Controversy continues regarding the true prevalence, most accurate diagnostic methods, and most efficacious treatment of symptomatic lumbar facet joints. [11] Workup The use of diagnostic blocks is fundamental to a diagnosis of lumbar facet joint pain [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Surgical decompression is an effective treatment, but the optimal treatment remains controversial. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
[…] risk factors for poor prognosis: nature of the infection, persistent infection with Chlamydia, the presence of HLA-B27 (axial involvement, ocular), male gender, recurrent arthritis and a family history of the disease Reference: Dumond DC. [gpnotebook.co.uk]
[…] carriers remain asymptomatic throughout their lives, some patients could develop neurological disorder, inflammatory arthropathy also called HTLV-1-associated arthropathy or T-cell malignancy, the adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma or ATL with a very poor prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
What is the overall prognosis? If a stable, shoeable or braceable foot can be obtained and maintained, the prognosis overall is good. [footcaremd.org]
The long-term prognosis for patients with ascites depends primarily on the underlying cause of the condition. [docdoc.com.sg]
Etiology
It should be stressed that the identification and management of the underlying etiology is paramount if the disease process is to be positively impacted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology of the neuropathic condition was syringomyelia in five patients (six shoulders) and chronic alcoholism in one patient. [journals.lww.com]
Etiology High SAAG ≥ 1.1 g/dL (obsolete term: transudate) Low SAAG < 1.1 g/dL (obsolete term: exudate) Etiology Pathophysiology Etiology Pathophysiology Portal hypertension Presinusoidal Splenic or portal vein thrombosis Schistosomiasis Sinusoidal Hepatic [amboss.com]
Etiology: unknown, may be calcium phosphate induced. Likely multifactorial related to: coracoacromial arch anatomy, tendon tensile overload, repetitive use, tendon vascularity, age-related degeneration. Women > men. [eorif.com]
Epidemiology
His research is focused on a number of key elements in OA including (but not limited to) the epidemiology of osteoarthritis, the application of imaging to better understand structure and function with application to both epidemiologic research and clinical [books.google.com]
Summary Epidemiology The prevalence has been estimated at 1/1,000,000 but it is likely to be higher in the Middle East and the Maghreb. [orpha.net]
Second, there are only a few previous published epidemiological studies for this group of diseases. [arthritis-research.biomedcentral.com]
[ 3, 4 ] The diverse clinical manifestations of this condition have impaired meaningful research on epidemiology. [patient.info]
Pathophysiology
The underlying pathophysiology is thought to be due to loss of nociception (pain sensation), most frequently caused by diabetes mellitus, syphilitic myelopathy, or syringomyelia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
He, therefore, underwent arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis with preoperative chelator therapy to prevent a further increase in blood lead levels secondary to surgical manipulation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Regular exercise can keep the facet joints flexible and prevent stiffness in the back or neck. And that’s just one of the many benefits of exercise for facet hypertrophy treatment. [braceability.com]
This usually prevents the deformation of bones and joints which can lead to ulcers. [orthoconsultantsny.com]
