Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are conditions affecting muscles, joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, often causing pain and restricted movement. Common causes include injury, repetitive strain, poor posture, aging, or underlying health conditions like arthritis. MSDs primarily affect the back, neck, shoulders, wrists, and knees. Common types are carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains, and osteoarthritis. Symptoms include stiffness, swelling, numbness, and aching. Treatment often combines physical therapy, medications, and ergonomic adjustments, while severe cases may require surgery. Preventive steps, such as regular exercise, maintaining good posture, and using ergonomic tools, help reduce the risk of developing MSDs.
Gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis, occurs when uric acid crystals accumulate in the joints, causing severe pain, swelling, and redness. It is a chronic condition that can cause recurrent episodes of acute joint pain and, if left untreated, may result in permanent joint damage. Gout in the foot is often managed through lifestyle changes, medications, and, in some cases, surgery.
