For further information on these conditions see<strong> back pain <\/strong>and<strong> arthritis <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Causes of Sciatica:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list\">\n<li>Sciatica is caused by irritation of the root or roots of the lower lumbar and lumbosacral spine<\/li>\n<li>A slipped disc (the most common cause), when a soft cushion of tissue between the bones in your spine (vertebrae) pushes out<\/li>\n<li>Lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back)<\/li>\n<li>Degenerative disc disease (breakdown of discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae in the back)<\/li>\n<li>Spondylolisthesis (a condition that causes one vertebra to slip in front of another one)<\/li>\n<li>Muscle spasm in the buttocks or back<\/li>\n<li>Pregnancy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Causes of Osteoarthritis:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list\">\n<li>Osteoarthritis usually develops in adults who are in their mid-40s or older and is more common in women and people with a family history of the condition<\/li>\n<li>Previous injury<\/li>\n<li>In association with other joint-related conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Wear and tear\u2019 that initially affects the smooth cartilage lining of the joint, makes movement more difficult than usual, and leads to pain and stiffness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Causes of Tendonitis:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list\">\n<li>Most often caused by sudden, sharp movements or repetitive exercise (such as running, throwing, or jumping)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Causes of Fibromyalgia:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list\">\n<li>The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is thought to be related to abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the brain and changes in the way the central nervous system (spinal cord, brain, and nerves) processes pain. For further information, see <strong>Fibromyalgia<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Diagnosis<\/h2>\n<p>If you are concerned that you may have a musculoskeletal condition, call Ahmeys to book an appointment with one of our experts to discuss your symptoms and potential treatments.<\/p>\n<p>There are many different conditions with a variety of symptoms, so a doctor will ask you about your medical history, pain levels, and assess what they think might be the cause of your pain.<\/p>\n<p>An expert at Ahmeys will review your symptoms and potentially perform the following diagnostic tests:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ac-list\">\n<li>A physical exam to check for fluid around the joints, red or warm joints, and to test the range of motion of the affected joints<\/li>\n<li>Blood tests to check for specific types of antibodies and for inflammatory markers<\/li>\n<li>Blood tests to check for anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide), RF (rheumatoid factor), and ANA (antinuclear antibody)<\/li>\n<li>Physical examination of your back and assessment of your ability to stand, sit, walk and lift your legs<\/li>\n<li>One of our experts may also ask you to rate your pain on a scale of zero to ten and talk to you about how well you are functioning with your pain<\/li>\n<li>Assessments to determine where the pain comes from, how much you can move, your range of motion before the pain stops you, and whether you have muscle spasms<\/li>\n<li>Internal and external rotation of the joint to detect pain-aggravating positions and palpating (touching) over inflamed areas to detect tenderness<\/li>\n<li>Straight leg raising can be used to detect sciatica<\/li>\n<li>If our Ahmeys expert thinks you may have fibromyalgia, it is likely that they will conduct further tests in order to rule out other conditions that could be causing your symptoms, such as ME (chronic fatigue syndrome), rheumatoid arthritis, and MS (multiple sclerosis). They may also ask if your pain has stayed at a similar level for a minimum of three months and is present in six or more places<\/li>\n<li>Conduct or refer you to a hospital for imaging scans such as MRI, X-Ray, and CT scan to produce an image of your cartilage and bones. This can also rule out other causes of symptoms and identify bone spurs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Once one of our experts has assessed you, they will discuss treatment options with you. Treatment may also depend on the results of any potential diagnostic tests.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment may be dependent on your age, weight, other medical history factors and will certainly be dependent on what type of musculoskeletal pain or condition you have been diagnosed with.<\/p>\n<p>One of our experts may combine treatment methods to improve pain relief, joint function and to help take pressure off sore joints.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the potential treatments that one of our experts may use to treat your musculoskeletal pain symptoms:<\/p>\n<h2>Treatment for back pain:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list ac-green\">\n<li>Over the counter (OTC pain relievers) such as ibuprofen<\/li>\n<li>Topical creams to block pain signals<\/li>\n<li>Less common medication treatment options include: immunosuppressants, opioids, muscle relaxants, and steroid injections<\/li>\n<li>Surgery, usually reserved for relieving nerve compression, a herniated disk, or narrowing of the spine<\/li>\n<li>Physiotherapy<\/li>\n<li>Additional alternative therapies include: acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, TENS, and yoga<\/li>\n<li>For more information see <strong>Back pain <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment for Sciatica:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list ac-green\">\n<li>Over the counter (OTC pain relievers) such as ibuprofen<\/li>\n<li>Specific stretching and exercises<\/li>\n<li>Physiotherapy<\/li>\n<li>Psychological support (counselling)<\/li>\n<li>Painkilling injections<\/li>\n<li>Surgery referred to as \u2018decompression surgery\u2019, is sometimes used to help relieve sciatica<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment for Osteoarthritis:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list ac-green\">\n<li>Over the counter (OTC pain relievers) such as ibuprofen<\/li>\n<li>Analgesics, such as hydrocodone or acetaminophen for pain relief<\/li>\n<li>Topical creams to block pain signals<\/li>\n<li>Less common medication treatment options include: immunosuppressants, opioids, steroid injections, PPR injections, and corticosteroids<\/li>\n<li>Surgery, including carpal tunnel release, the release of tendons, removal of inflamed tissue, arthroscopy, joint replacement (arthroplasty), and joint fusion<\/li>\n<li>Physiotherapy<\/li>\n<li>Additional alternative therapies include: acupuncture, chiropractic, TENS, and osteopathy<\/li>\n<li>Nutritional supplements and dietary changes<\/li>\n<li>For more information see <strong>Arthritis <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment for Tendonitis:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list ac-green\">\n<li>Over the counter (OTC pain relievers) such as ibuprofen<\/li>\n<li>Steroid injections to provide short-term pain relief<\/li>\n<li>Surgery to remove damaged tissue or repair a ruptured tendon<\/li>\n<li>Shockwave therapy, which may help speed up recovery time<\/li>\n<li>PPR injections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Treatment for Fibromyalgia:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"ac-list ac-green\">\n<li>Over the counter (OTC pain relievers) such as ibuprofen<\/li>\n<li>Less common medication treatment options include: immunosuppressants, opioids, steroid injections, muscle relaxants, anticonvulsants and antipsychotics<\/li>\n<li>Physiotherapy<\/li>\n<li>Hydrotherapy<\/li>\n<li>Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)<\/li>\n<li>Acupuncture<\/li>\n<li>Chiropractic<\/li>\n<li>For more information see <strong>Fibromyalgia <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to manage your musculoskeletal symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>As musculoskeletal pain can be caused by a variety of conditions that are treated in different ways, the tools to manage your condition may be different depending on the diagnosed cause of your pain.
