Nothing can stop you in your tracks like back pain. Suddenly the most minor movement,eg reaching for a door handle or perhaps raising a toothbrush to your mouth can send excruciating discomfort running down your back. Sadly back stiffness is extremely common, particularly in the lower back area. Whether springing from a severe or minor injury or daily damage, most people will have back issues at some particular point in their lives. Back injury is the most frequent reason for back stiffness. High-energy events, such as an auto crash or work-related activities,eg heavy lifting, are a couple of the most reported perpetrators of back injuries. Even a trip, slip or a fall can result in a back injury. Back stiffness can be felt anywhere from your neck to your tailbone, and for most, back trouble goes away after a month or thereabouts though many suffer for longer. If you have suffered a back injury or back trouble thanks to the evil-doing of another, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your losses. A professional lawyer can be helpful.

The condition known as thoracic outlet syndrome is not one thing but the name given to a collection of symptoms, all ascribed to problems with compression of blood vessels or nerves as they pass through the anatomical thoracic outlet. This structure is outlined by the first rib, the collar bone or clavicle and the neck scalene muscles, with the neurological and vascular structures passing through it to reach the axilla and travel into the arm. Diagnosis of these related conditions is difficult and there is little clarity or consensus about them.

Benign MS is a term used to describe some patients’ presentations but appears mostly incorrect as almost all patients suffer a continual progression of their disability, in some cases without particular attacks. Truly benign episodes are those attacks which occur and then remit without repetition in the future, which is rare. It is vital to have a realistic viewpoint from the perspective of the doctors, relatives and patients so that the correct information can be given and the correct treatments followed. Patients report mental and physical tiredness which is different from the more typical tiredness of functional over effort or poor sleep.

Multiple Sclerosis or MS is a disease of the central nervous system characterised by inflammation and demyelination, the gradual loss of the insulation material around the nerves known as myelin. Sclerosis is the term given to describe the thickened and scarred small lesions which occur in the nerve tracts. The disease is continually active and forms new lesions regularly leading to gradually increasing levels of disability. The most common form of MS is the relapsing and remitting kind, meaning there are periods of worsening followed by at least partial recoveries.

Up to the six week point after injury the remodelling phase can be said to occur and by this stage the physiotherapist will test the patient to see if they can contract the hamstring muscle against maximal resistance without pain or anxiety. The physio will then ask the patient to perform isotonic muscle contractions in the prone position with larger number of repetitions and lower weights initially, progressing to higher weights and fewer repetitions if no pain is experienced. It is advisable not to be too fast in increasing the weight and force applied to prevent a recurrent injury or a chronic strain.
