[3] [17] The inflammation can lead to the formation of scar tissue and adhesion that can make the spinal nerves "stick" together, a condition where such tissue develops in and between the leptomeninges - between dura and arachnoid or pia and arachnoid. [17] This condition can be very painful, especially when progressing to adhesive arachnoiditis.
When there is a tear in the anulus fibrosus, the nucleus pulposus may extrude through the tear and press against spinal nerves within the spinal cord, cauda equina, or exiting nerve roots, causing inflammation, numbness, or excruciating pain. [31] Inflammation of spinal tissue can then spread to adjacent facet joints and cause facet syndrome ...
The healing of trauma to the outer anulus fibrosus may also result in the innervation of the scar tissue and pain impulses from the disc, as these nerves become inflamed by nucleus pulposus material. Degenerative disc disease can lead to a chronic debilitating condition and can reduce a person's quality of life.
There is excessive scar tissue formation within the joint and/or surrounding soft tissues leading to painful restriction of joint motion that persists despite physical therapy and rehabilitation. The scar tissue may be located inside the knee joint or may involve the soft tissue structures around the knee joint, or both locations.
Symptoms are pain or dysthesias (abnormal sensation) in the buttocks, hip, and posterior thigh with or without radiating leg pain. Patients often report pain when sitting. [1] The two most common causes are piriformis syndrome and fibrovascular bands (scar tissue), but many other causes exist. [2]
Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to the womb lining grow elsewhere in the body, causing inflammation, pain, and scar tissue. The condition is difficult to diagnose — on average ...
Once the spinal injury has occurred, one of two things may happen. Firstly, hemorrhaging within the spinal cord may cause compression, which damages the spinal cord even further. Another consequence of myelomalacia is improper circulation of blood to the area damaged, resulting in further damage to the spinal cord. [citation needed]
Peyronie’s disease (curved, painful arousal due to scar tissue) Type 2 diabetes Prescription medications for high blood pressure and antidepressants can cause ED as well.
