The term “Coccydynia” simply refers to any kind of long lasting pain or discomfort in the tailbone. While the colloquial term “tailbone” adequately describes the area at the bottom of the spine, medical professionals know it by the official name, The Coccyx (pronounced Cox-icks). Patients will feel Coccydynia as pain localized to the area that tends to get worse while sitting.

SNAPPING HIP

Some people can feel a “snap” sensation or hear a “pop” sound in the hip when they walk or stand up from a sitting position. The source of this snapping involves a tendon or muscle tissue inside the hip catching on some kind of bony protrusion and then “snapping” off it like an archer releasing a bowstring. In most cases, a snapping hip will remain harmless. However, a snapping hip can sometimes lead to irritation and bursitis.

On the outer edge of the wrist by the pinky finger, also known as the “Ulnar” side, there sits the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon. This ECU tendon runs all the way from the back of the forearm to the ulnar side of the wrist. The condition some people call “Snapping Wrist” actually results from the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon snapping in and out of the groove that it normally slides through in the wrist, due to some damage to the sheath that usually keeps it in place.

In the shoulder, there lies specialized cartilage tissue called the Labrum. The Labrum helps to reinforce the shoulder joint. The socket of the shoulder, known as the glenoid, meets the humerus bone of the arm, with the Labrum cushioning the area in-between. When the Labrum tears, it can cause patients to suffer from shoulder pain or instability.

Patients who suffer from Foot drop, also known as drop foot, generally have difficulty lifting the front part of the foot. The front of the foot may unintentionally drag on the ground when patients walk. Neurologists classify Foot drop as a sign or side effect of an underlying neurological, muscular or anatomical problem, rather than a disease in its own right.

A painful condition of the wrist, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis affects the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist. If you have de Quervain’s tenosynovitis, the wrist will hurt when you rotate it, grasp objects or make a fist. Although physicians do not know the exact cause of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, any activity that applies repetitive movement to the hand or wrist — such as yard work, golf, racket sports, or lifting children — can make it worse.

Bunions with Dr. Law

Physicians define a Bunion as a bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe and protrudes to the side. It occurs due to the bones in the toe moving out of place. This causes the tip of the big toe to pull toward the smaller toes and pushes the joint at the base of the big toe to stick outwards. The skin over the bunion might inflame and appear red and sore.

Sometimes, a bundle of nerves can suffer irritation and radiate pain into an area of the body. Specialists can block these nerve signals with an injection of medication into the area. Doctors call this injection of nerve-numbing substance a Nerve Block. Nerve Blocks can offer a non-surgical solution to issues like Lumbago, or allow patients to undergo simple operations such as Carpal Tunnel Release without needing to go under general anesthesia.

When the big toe bends too far, too forcefully, this motion causes the soft tissues connecting the big toe joint to sprain. This condition is coloquially known as "Turf Toe", as it commonly befalls atheletes who play sports with sudden start/stop movements, like football and soccer.

Radiofrequency Ablation uses special radio waves to target specific nerves and generate heat, temporarily turning off the ability of those nerves to send pain signals. Spine, Knee, and Hip Specialists all commonly use Radiofrequency Ablation, as overactive nerve pain commonly occurs in the back, neck and buttocks (sacroiliac joint) as well as the knee and hip joint.
