Pain is an unpleasant sensation triggered in the nervous system that can range from mild
discomfort to unbearable agony. Pain receptors located throughout the body send
electrical impulses via the spinal cord to the brain.
|
|
Bone pain represents one of the most debilitating side effects of the metastases of high-incidence cancers such as breast, prostate, lung, and multiple myeloma (myelomatosis). Severe bone pain is frequent, reported by greater than 65% of patients suffering with bone metastases.
|
|
Sensations are carried from the extremities of the body to the brain via neurons in the
spinal cord. If the blood supply to the nerves is or if the nerve is otherwise damaged or its
function affected, it can produce the feeling that "my finger fell asleep".
|
 |
If more pressure is put on a bone than it can stand, it will split or break. A break of any size is called a fracture. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open fracture (compound fracture. A stress fracture is a hairline crack in the bone that develops because of repeated or prolonged forces against the bone.

Bones are tough and resilient, but if you push them hard enough—if you fall on a hard surface, for instance—they can crack or break.
|
 |
A fracture is a complete or incomplete break in a bone resulting from the application of excessive force. A fracture usually results from traumatic injury to a bone, causing the continuity of bone tissues or bony cartilage to be disrupted or broken.
|
 |
A fracture is a complete or incomplete break in a bone resulting from the application of excessive force. An injury may be classified as a fracture-dislocation when a fracture involves the bony structures of any joint with associated dislocation of the same joint.

A fracture is a complete or incomplete break in a bone resulting from the application of excessive force. A fracture usually results from traumatic injury to bones causing the continuity of bone tissues or bony cartilage to be disrupted or broken.
|
 |
A fracture is a crack or break in a bone. It results from the application of excessive force through injuries, such as a fall or a hard blow.
|
|
Walking abnormalities are unusual and uncontrollable walk patterns, usually caused by diseases or injuries to the legs, feet, brain, spine, or inner ear.
|
|
Sensations are carried from the extremities of the body to the brain via neurons in the
spinal cord. If the blood supply to the nerves is decreased, it can produce the feeling that
"my hand fell asleep".
|
|
Muscle rigidity is an alteration of muscle tone in which the muscles are in an involuntary
state of continual tension. Muscle rigidity can be a manifestation of neurological damage
(basal ganglia diseases) or a side effect of certain medications.
|
 |
Spasticity is stiff or rigid muscles with exaggerated, deep tendon reflexes (for example, a knee-jerk reflex. The condition can interfere with walking, movement, or speech. See also: Muscle spasticity
|
|
Spasticity is a form of muscle overactivity. A spastic muscle is one in which a muscle resists being stretched out, and the resistance to stretch is greater the faster the muscle is moved.
|
|
Spasticity is an abnormal increase in muscle tone. It may be associated with involuntary muscle spasms , sustained muscle contractions (dystonia), and exaggerated deep tendon reflexes that make movement difficult or uncontrollable.
|
 |
Muscle atrophy refers to the wasting or loss of muscle tissue resulting from disease or lack of use.
|
|
True muscle weakness means that full effort does not produce a normal muscle
contraction or movement. A voluntary muscle contraction is generated when the brain
sends a signal through the spinal cord and nerves to a muscle.
|
|
Weakness is a reduction in the strength of one or more muscles.
|
|
Numbness and tingling are decreased or abnormal sensations caused by altered sensory nerve function. The feeling of having a foot " fall asleep " is a familiar one.
|
|
The most common reason for numbness or tingling is a problem with nerve function, either because the nerve itself is injured, something is pressing on the nerve, or an imbalance in the body's chemistry interferes with nerve function.

What would cause sudden ear numbness and partial facial numbness (but without drooping or muscle weakness)?

|
Sensations are carried from the extremities of the body to the brain via neurons in the
spinal cord. If the blood supply to the nerves is decreased, it can produce the feeling that
"my foot fell asleep".
|
|
Sensations are carried from the extremities of the body to the brain via neurons in the
spinal cord. If the blood supply to the nerves is decreased temporarily, it can produce the
feeling that "my leg fell asleep".
|
|
|
Numbness and tingling are abnormal sensations that can occur anywhere in your body, but are often felt in your hands, feet, arms, or legs.
|
|
Definition and classification Pain is a universal human experience. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as " an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage.

Pain, medically termed "nociception," is a response to noxious stimuli that is conveyed to the brain by sensory neurons . The discomfort signals actual or impending injury to the body.

Children who experience verbal abuse are at as much risk for developing anxiety or depression as those who are abused physically or sexually. This may be due to the fact that verbal abuse is likely to persist over a lengthy period of time.

A charley horse is the common name for a muscle spasm, especially in the leg. Muscle spasms can occur in any muscle in the body. When a muscle is in spasm, it contracts without your control and does not relax.
|
|
Muscle spasms and cramps are spontaneous, often painful muscle contractions. Most people are familiar with the sudden pain of a muscle cramp.

|
Osteomalacia is softening of the bones, caused by not having enough vitamin D, or by problems with the metabolism (breakdown and use) of this vitamin. These softer bones have a normal amount of collagen that gives the bones its structure, but they are lacking in calcium.
|
|
Osteomalacia is a disease in which insufficient mineralization leads to a softening of the bones. Usually, this is caused by a deficiency of vitamin D , which reduces bone formation by altering calcium and phosphorus metabolism .
|
|
Sensations are carried from the extremities of the body to the brain via neurons in the
spinal cord. If the blood supply to the nerves is decreased, it can produce the feeling that
"my toe fell asleep".
|
|
Unsteady gait is a symptom of instability while walking. Problems with walking can be
due to disease or injury to the legs, feet, spine, or brain.
|
 |
Gait and balance problems exist when a disease process, trauma, or aging result in the inability to control one ' s center of gravity (COG) over the base of support (BOS) in static or dynamic tasks and environments. Any number of factors may contribute to gait and balance problems.
|
|
Gait or walking is a coordinated action of the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems. The coordination of muscle contraction , joint movement, and sensory perception allows the human body to move in the environment.
|
|
Gait training refers to helping a patient relearn to walk safely and efficiently. Gait training is usually done by rehabilitation specialists who evaluate the abnormalities in the person ' s gait and employ such treatments as strengthening and balance training to improve stability and body perception as these pertain to the patient ' s environment.
