Pain Management of Malignant Psoas Syndrome Under Epidural Analgesia During Palliative Radiotherapy.
Authors: Ota T, Makihara M, Tsukuda H, Kajikawa R, Inamori M, Miyatake N, Tanaka N, Tokunaga M, Hasegawa Y, Tada T, Fukuoka M Abstract Malignant psoas syndrome is a rare malignant condition presenting as lumbosacral plexopathy and painful fixed flexion of the hip. Metastasis to the psoas muscle is observed, which damages the nerve bundles in the lumbosacral plexuses. The syndrome presents as refractory lower back pain with several other neurological symptoms. The pain is difficult to control because it is a mixture of nociceptive and neuropathic pain, which indicates that treatment requires a versatile approach. Th...

“I Hate You Chronic Pain!”
There are some days in this way of life one just has to speak the ugly side of truth. It’s isn’t always pretty. I sometimes believe after the many years I’ve been writing this blog, some of my readers think I’m Little Mary Sunshine ; I assure you, I am not. We often find ourselves in one particularly pitiable state I like to call, “My life is worse than your life.” It’s only human of us to feel that way but it is most definitely a dead end road but a path we occasionally drive down. Life is hard enough for the jolly and the totally healthy but for those of us who face pain each day of our lives, usually in ...

Chronic Pain and the Opioid Epidemic: Wicked Issues Have No Simple Solutions
Written By Myra ChristopherMy mom was a steel magnolia (i.e., southern and perfectly charming), but she had a steel rod up her back. After her first surgery for stomach cancer at age 53, she refused pain medication because she said that she “could take it.” She was young and strong and committed to “beating cancer.” After nearly two years of chemotherapy, radiation and two more surgeries, the cancer won. Eventually, I watched her beg nurses to give her “a shot” minutes before another was scheduled and be told they were sorry but she would have to wait. I could tell by the expressions on ...

If you have low back pain try these steps first
Low back pain, the scourge of mankind: it is the second leading cause of disability here in the United States, and the fourth worldwide. It’s also one of the top five medical problems for which people see doctors. Almost every day that I see patients, I see someone with back pain. It’s one of the top reasons for lost wages due to missed work, as well as for healthcare dollars spent, hence, a very expensive problem. Looking at two kinds of back pain Let’s talk about the most common forms of back pain: acute (which lasts less than four weeks) and subacute (which lasts four to 12 weeks). Most of these cases (approximate...

Pain | VQR Online
My father was never one to complain. On the morning of the day he died, an ulcer he'd suffered from for years, and left untreated, ruptured and began to bleed. Two days later I met with the town coroner. He told me the end had been painless, that, as his life leached away, my father would only have felt increasingly weak and light-​headed. The coroner, trying to make me feel better, was lying. By any other account, when an ulcer perforates and blood, bile, bacteria, and partially digested food begin to spill into the abdominal cavity, you feel as if a knife has just been buried in your guts. You might faint. You migh...

Merging the wisdom of pain medicine and addiction medicine to optimize outcomes
Family lore recalls that my grandfather, succumbing to stomach cancer in the mid-1960s, “died addicted to morphine.” Decades before the AIDS crisis sparked the hospice and palliative care movements, the confluences of pain, dependence, and addiction were confused and regrettably moralized. Since then, the science has excelled, but our clinical understanding of how pain and […]Find jobs at  Careers by KevinMD.com.  Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now.  Learn more.
