Anterior interosseous syndrome is a medical condition in which damage to the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN), a distal motor and sensory branch of the median nerve, classically with severe weakness of the pincer movement of the thumb and index finger, and can cause transient pain in the wrist (the terminal, sensory branch of the AIN innervates the bones of the carpal tunnel).
Post herniorrhaphy pain syndrome, or inguinodynia is pain or discomfort lasting greater than 3 months after surgery of inguinal hernia. Randomized trials of laparoscopic vs open inguinal hernia repair have demonstrated similar recurrence rates with the use of mesh and have identified that chronic groin pain (>10%) surpasses recurrence (<2%) and is an important measure of success.
[20] [66] [64] [67] [32] When VAS scores (pain scores) are measured, patients typically have severe pain (>7.5) before surgery and at most mild pain (< 3.5) after surgery. [ 68 ] [ 66 ] [ 64 ] [ 67 ] A systematic review of deep gluteal syndrome (of which piriformis syndrome is a major cause) found consistently positive results for surgeries in ...
Complex regional pain syndrome is uncommon, and its cause is not clearly understood. CRPS typically develops after an injury, surgery, heart attack, or stroke. [8] [12] Investigators estimate that 2–5% of those with peripheral nerve injury, [13] and 13–70% of those with hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) [14] will develop CRPS.
TOS can involve only part of the hand (as in the pinky and adjacent half of the ring finger), all of the hand, or the inner aspect of the forearm and upper arm. Pain can also be in the side of the neck, the pectoral area below the clavicle, the armpit/axillary area, and the upper back (i.e., the trapezius and rhomboid area).
The main symptom is pain, particularly with gripping and pinching. [7] [8] This pain is often described as weakness, but true weakness is not a part of this disease. People may also note a change in shape of the thumb. [7] [8] Some people choose surgery, but most people find they can accommodate trapeziometacarpal arthritis. [9] [10] [11]
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a nerve entrapment condition that causes chronic pain of the abdominal wall. [1] It occurs when nerve endings of the lower thoracic intercostal nerves (7–12) are 'entrapped' in abdominal muscles, causing a severe localized nerve (neuropathic) pain that is usually experienced at the front of the abdomen.
Pain distal to the fistula. Symptoms are graded by their severity: [3] Grade 0: No symptoms of steal; Grade 1: Mild - cool extremity, improvement in hand pulse with access occlusion; Grade 2: Moderate - Ischemic symptoms during dialysis; Grade 3: Severe - Ischemic hand pain outside of dialysis; Ulcers or gangrene of the fingers
