Meghan O’Rourke is a writer in many incarnations — an essayist, poet, critic, and editor. I got to know Meghan during the time that this blog appeared on Slate , and I was very eager to get my hands on her new book. The Long Goodbye is a memoir of her mother’s death from cancer in 2008, at the age of 55, when Meghan was 32 years old. Going through great unhappiness is one of the best, and most difficult, teachers of happiness, so I was very interested to hear what Meghan had to say. Gretchen: What’s a simple activity that consistently makes you happier? Meghan: Taking a walk. I used to run a lot, and that always made me happier (even if I was unhappy lacing up my shoes to do it). But I tore the cartilage in my right hip and n...

Its main action is to anchor the clavicle. Its proximal attachment (origin) is the 1st rib and costal cartilage. The distal attachment (insertion) is the inferior surface of the mid-clavicle. Innervation is via a local nerve branch off the brachial plexus. The muscle is of clinical significance in that it is intentionally punctured when placing a subclavian central venous catheter. It also functions in protecting the underlying subclavian artery and vein from being punctured in displaced clavicle fractures.

Many of you have suffered injuries of the spine or other bones. Others have contacted diseases of the bones in one of the many forms of rheumatoid disease. They are all different in their approach, advance and insult to the body. For all of us it is important to remember that the human body is a wonder of connections of many types of substances as bones, nerves, ligaments and cartilage all move as one because of that connection. This makes it a bit tricky to diagnose and I believe that’s why physicians so often rely on lab work. It’s difficult for doctor’s to know and actually impossible for them to see within us…X-ray vision is not available for doctor’s unless...

A cadaveric study was performed in order to define the biomechanical properties which may be a contributing factor to the intitiation of labral tears.

Week in and week out I share with all of you what I am experiencing. Some days, when I’m feeling worse than usual, I ask myself, “Why do you do this?” First of all, let me remind you of the medical reasons I have daily pain. I live with relapsing polychrondritis, which is a disease of inflammation and destruction of cartilage throughout my body. For many years it was simply labeled lupus like syndrome because it is very difficult to diagnose. I also suffer from mixed connective tissue disease which sort of encompasses many of my problems. I have had pain in my sacroiliac joints for many years, pain in hips and knees as well as destruction of my ankles with accompanying pain. I have arthritis in several joints although I do not test pos...

According to an expert people can delay osteoarthritis for a long time if they take care of themselves, especially at their young age. Dr. Jason Theodosakis, a specialist in sports and preventive medicine, and an assistant professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, said in a statement: Osteoarthritis is something people should think about preventing, or at least delaying, when they’re still in their 30’s and 40’s, or even younger. Most of the people are not aware of arthritis when it began at their young age. Osteoarthritis cases are on rise, and are mainly due to lack of awareness among people when it actually began. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It causes p... Arthritis Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=874677 Thu, 14 Jun 2007 20:13:15 +0100 874677
