Radiating pain

Introduction Radiation pain: The pain is radioactive, and the conductive pain is released from the proximal end of the limb (near the heart side) to the telecentric end, just like a string of inductance. This means that the lesion does not occur in the limb itself, but in the spinal cord of the neck, chest, or waist, or at a large nerve center or nerve trunk. Such as lumbar disc herniation, spinal cord tumors, ankle arthritis, etc., the nerves are subjected to oppressive injury or inflammation, and patients have a string of radioactive pain.

Cause

The lesion does not occur in the limb itself, but in the spinal cord of the neck, chest, or waist, or at a large nerve center or nerve trunk. Radiation pain in the upper extremities indicates a lesion in the neck or shoulder of the plexus. The lower extremity radiation pain is mostly chest and waist, and the atlantoaxial nerve is oppressed.

Laboratory examinations must be summarized and analyzed based on objective materials and medical examinations, and several possible diagnostics are proposed, and then further examinations are performed to confirm the diagnosis. Can do the physical examination of the pain site, such as: neck, shoulder, lumbar motion check, joint X-ray examination, cervical CT, lumbar CT, EMG examination.

Differential diagnosis

1. Muscle tone pain is a clinical manifestation of neurasthenia. Neurasthenia is a neurosis characterized by brain and physical dysfunction. It is characterized by emotional excitement but fatigue. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as nervousness, trouble, irritability, and other physiological symptoms such as muscle tension pain and sleep disorders.
