A side stitch (or "stitch in one's side") is an intense stabbing abdominal pain under the lower edge of the ribcage that occurs during exercise. It is also called a side ache, side cramp, muscle stitch, or simply stitch, and the medical term is exercise-related transient abdominal pain (ETAP). [1] It sometimes extends to shoulder tip pain, and ...
Pain generally begins suddenly and typically involves only one side. [6] There is often associated nausea and vomiting. [2] The testicle may lie higher in the scrotum due to twisting and subsequent shortening of the spermatic cord [6] or may be positioned in a horizontal orientation. Mild warmth and redness of the overlying area may be present.
Torticollis is a fixed or dynamic tilt, rotation, with flexion or extension of the head and/or neck. The type of torticollis can be described depending on the positions of the head and neck. [1][3][4] laterocollis: the head is tipped toward the shoulder. rotational torticollis: the head rotates along the longitudinal axis towards the shoulder ...
Commonly intra-scapular pain is referred from the lower cervical spine. Contributing factors to injury include; lack of strength, poor posture, overuse injuries (such as repetitive motion), or a trauma (such as a car accident or sports injury). Often thoracic pain can be aggravated twisting, side bending and with prolonged bent spinal postures.
A patellar dislocation typically occurs when the knee is straight and the lower leg is bent outwards when twisting. [1] [2] Occasionally, it occurs when the knee is bent and the patella is struck directly. [1] Commonly associated sports include soccer, gymnastics, and ice hockey. [2] Dislocations nearly always occur away from the midline. [2]
Prehn's sign (named after urologist Douglas T. Prehn) [1] is a medical diagnostic indicator that was once believed to help determine whether the presenting testicular pain is caused by acute epididymitis or from testicular torsion. [2] Although elevation of the scrotum when differentiating epididymitis from testicular torsion is of clinical ...
Ovarian torsion (OT) or adnexal torsion is an abnormal condition where an ovary twists on its attachment to other structures, such that blood flow is decreased. [3][4] Symptoms typically include pelvic pain on one side. [2][5] While classically the pain is sudden in onset, this is not always the case. [2] Other symptoms may include nausea. [2]
Torsion (twisting or wrenching motion) of the appendages can cause ischemia which can cause painful symptoms that mimic other conditions such as diverticulitis, and appendicitis; however, it is rare. The pain associated with the inflamed appendages is located in the left and sometimes in the right lower abdominal quadrant.
