While the disease does not cause pain directly, pain is a symptom experienced by most people with ALS caused by reduced mobility. [35] Symptoms of lower motor neuron degeneration include muscle weakness and atrophy, muscle cramps, and fleeting twitches of muscles that can be seen under the skin ( fasciculations ).
[1] [2] Patients observe these symptoms and seek medical advice from healthcare professionals. Because most people are not diagnostically trained or knowledgeable, they typically describe their symptoms in layman's terms, rather than using specific medical terminology. This list is not exhaustive.
Amplified musculoskeletal pain is a syndrome which is a set of characteristic symptoms and signs. Essentially, the syndrome is characterized by diffuse, ongoing, daily pain associated with relatively high levels of incapability and greater care-seeking behavior.
axial compression and rotation of cervical spine to the side of symptoms causes pain Stellwag's sign: Karl Stellwag von Carion: endocrinology: thyrotoxicosis: infrequent and/or incomplete blinking, accompanied by Dalrymple's sign: Still's murmur: Sir George Frederick Still: paediatric cardiology: subaortic stenosis, small Ventricular septal defect
A medical sign is an objective observable indication of a disease, injury, or medical condition that may be detected during a physical examination. [7] These signs may be visible, such as a rash or bruise, or otherwise detectable such as by using a stethoscope or taking blood pressure. Medical signs, along with symptoms, help in forming a ...
In one experiment published in 1992, visual mental imagery was studied in ASL signers—deaf and hearing—and hearing non-signers. These hearing signers were born to deaf parents, and ASL was their first language. Another aspect looked at in this study was the difference between native signers and those who learned sign language at a later age.
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) usually presents with gradual-onset, progressive, lower-extremity stiffness and pain due to muscle spasticity. Onset is often asymmetrical. [ 2 ] Although the muscles do not appear to atrophy as in ALS (at least initially), the disabling aspect of PLS is muscle spasticity and cramping, and intense pain when those ...
Sacroiliitis pain is typically axial, meaning that the location of the condition is also where the pain is occurring. Symptoms commonly include prolonged, inflammatory pain in the lower back region, hips or buttocks. [1] [4] However, in more severe cases, pain can become more radicular and manifest itself in seemingly unrelated areas of the ...
