Cluneal nerve🤨....one for the differential list. Every day's a school day📖

[James Noake @DrJN_SportsMed]

Consent ✅

With respect to lower lumbar & gluteal pain, there are numerous potential pain drivers - disc, facet, SIJ, myofascial....

Cluneal nerve irritation is way down the list, but see it occasionally

Dental hygienist - diffuse upper gluteal aching / burning, provoked by repetitive occupational bending & rotation to same side

Also squats & trap bar deadlifts in gym

Tender ++ over superior cluneal nerve exit point at posterior iliac crest 3-4 cm lateral to PSIS - see XX in picture

POCUS - difficult to locate, but working patiently along from PSIS can identify the SCN & vessels as exit fibrosseous tunnel & under thoracolumbar fascia

US guided SCN block with local anaesthetic - removed patient's pain

For hip & groin geeks - mini thread 🧵🧵

Elite female sprinter

Worsening medial groin pain radiating into lower abdomen & "womb" - no acute episode, pop or tear

Worst on explosive block drills; sprinting especially when fatiguing & losing form, dropping into hip & lumbar extension; core / abdominal S&C work

Can attain max 65% sprint performance

Exam - pain & weakness on isometric long leg squeeze & resisted crunches

NO pain on palpation through pubic symphysis, tubercle or adductor origin

@DataSciPhysio @mattwyon @JutllaK @michelle__Dib @WLVsci_eng @wlv_uni @eddlecanard What's the research focus?

[Nick Tiller, Ph.D. @NBTiller]

Here's one of the best (highest-quality) studies on #cupping therapy. Relative to sham, it shows no effect of cupping on pain, physical function, perceived overall effect, quality of life, psychological symptoms, or medication use. #pseudoscience

Sarcopenia is not age-related. It is disuse related (plus all the usual suspects that accelerate development).

Just to clarify (as at first glance it read as though evening exercise wasn't beneficial), exercise at any time of day is beneficial to CVD, but early afternoon or mixing the time of training is slightly better (if you have that option). Have I interested this correctly?

Timing ⏱️ of physical activity 🏃‍♀️ matters:
->50% of daily 🏃‍♀️during 05:00-11:00 and 11:00-17:00, but not 17:00-24:00, is associated with lower risks of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality: https://t.co/rmrP3JfCw4
