Old Knee Injury Q&A

Old Knee Injury Q&A

Rob asks: “I injured my knee playing high school football years ago. I am 44 going on 100. Occasionally it seems to be acting up especially during inclement weather. My doctor says I have osteoarthritis. Is there something I can take for the pain that will not be addicting?

Hi Rob. It’s not uncommon for people to have pain years after an injury. Often the cumulative years of wear and tear over a joint can lead to pain later in life. Sometimes people with osteoarthritis, caused by the breakdown of cartilage of the joints, are very sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. They are often better predictors of rainy weather than the local forecast! There are a variety of treatment options available to patients with occasional knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Unfortunately, pain is highly individualized and what is effective in one person may not be as effective for another. Some people only need to take occasional anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen to control their pain. Others may find that the nutritional supplements glucosamine and chondroitin help to reduce their pain and joint stiffness. Knee injections containing cortisone (which decreases inflammation in the joint) or hyaluronic acid (a gel that lubricates and cushions the joint) can also help with knee pain. Furthermore, lifestyle changes such as weight loss and home exercises that focus on strengthening the quadricep muscles can lead to significant pain relief. Once again, the important take-home point is that everyone experiences pain differently and the best option is to speak with your doctor about an individualized plan that best suits your pain, individual goals, and lifestyle.

Chronic Neck Pain Q&A

Chronic Neck Pain Q&A

Jim asks: “I wake up with neck pain after having difficulty sleeping through the night. What causes chronic neck pain and what can I do to relieve it? Should I see a doctor?”

Alicia says: “My lower back aches after a long day at the office. I am at a computer all day long. I take breaks and try to get up and stretch as much as possible, but the lower back pain never seems to go away. I can’t take pills during the day and I do not want to be dependent on them at night. Any suggestions?”

Jim and Alicia: What both of you are suffering from has a similar answer. As you might guess, it is impossible to accurately diagnose and treat individuals over the Internet, phone, or through the pages of a magazine. However, my answer to both of you is similar and may help each of you. Most people at some point in their life have some degree of back and/or neck pain. Back and neck pain together are actually the greatest cause of work time loss or absenteeism. There are many different causes of chronic neck or back pain, but many causes involve some form of chronic degenerative changes. We are all aging and our past injuries, experiences, work habits, and current medical conditions all impact the aging process of our bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. Daily pain that does not respond to rest and short-term over-the-counter pain medications should be investigated with a complete history and physical exam coupled with appropriate x-rays and other tests. Many chronic aches and pains can be helped with physical therapy, chiropractic care and/or nonprescription pain medications under physician supervision. Other modalities such as massage, acupuncture, and an ergonomic assessment of your work space may also be helpful. A caring integrative approach to any therapy is essential to long-term success in treating chronic pain.

Back Pain Causes and Treatments

Back Pain Causes and Treatments

There are many causes of back pain. Most back pain occurs in the lumbar or lower part of the back. Degeneration of joints or discs, or muscle injuries are most common. This happens in all of us to some degree. The severity and age at which it occurs can be due to: genetic factors, injuries, other diseases, stresses from work, exercise, and problems such as smoking. In addition, osteoporosis with bone loss and fracture, fibromyalgia, and major conditions like cancer may also contribute.

When back problems occur, muscle and ligament problems often follow. Several factors contribute to back problems: weakness, poor core body strength, obesity, and lack of mobility.

These can be preventable or correctable early on. Unfortunately, they are often worsened by injuries, poor body mechanics, and positioning/ergonomics of work stations at home or in the office. There are a number of causes of lower back pain: systemic disease, facet syndrome, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sacroiliac joint pain, spinal stenosis, constriction and spondyloarthropathy, disease or arthritis affecting spinal joints.

Diagnosis is made on history and physical exam. This is followed by an x-ray and/or MRI of the region if symptoms are severe and persistent and do not respond to conservative care.

Symptoms in facet pain syndrome may be similar to disc pain or pinched nerve symptom—low back, buttocks, and upper leg pain increasing with long-term standing, and sitting. The pain is due to arthritis or inflammation in the back’s side joints. This is the main cause of up to twenty to thirty percent of back pain cases and is also common in the neck following injury. Lying down may calm the pain. An injection of local anesthetic into the facet joint or facet nerves helps determine the diagnosis. Recommended treatments include lower back exercise programs to learn proper or more beneficial posture and movement techniques, strengthening programs, chiropractic evaluation, and milder pain medications. If conservative therapy is not helpful, it may be necessary to perform a more advanced procedure such as radiofrequency or rhizotomy which would attempt to lessen the painful impulses sent to the brain.

Degenerative disc disease, the degeneration of vertebral discs, occurs in everyone but at varying ages. When the disc breaks down or degenerates, the disc space narrows. If the ligaments surrounding the disc are affected, the disc can become very sensitive to movement or to lack of movement. Certain activities can aggravate the pain such as everyday household chores. In most people the lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease generally improves within a few days. However, for some individuals the pain may be severe and unremitting, necessitating back injections or surgery. Preventative measures like strengthening muscle groups to lessen future traumas are usually recommended along with an analgesic or medication that helps relieve pain.

A herniated disc, or ruptured or protruding disc, extends beyond its own area into a surrounding region. Compression of the nerve root can be the cause of lower back pain. Pressure on the fibers in surrounding ligaments can also cause pain. Although an accident involving lifting could be the cause of a herniated disk, it’s not necessarily so. For many, the cause is unknown; pain can occur suddenly or gradually over time. The pain may be improved by walking instead of sitting or standing, and surgery is rarely required right away. During this time (up to several weeks) any of the following might be effective to use, depending upon your healthcare provider: medication, physical therapy, or non-frequently, steroid spinal injections.

Spinal stenosis, the constriction or narrowing of the vertebral canal, is mainly due to aging. As the disc space gradually lessens, changes in ligaments advance upon the nerve roots and pain can result. It’s often accompanied by numbness in the legs and is increased by standing or walking. Different vertebra and varied physical activities can affect the pain’s location, intensity, recurring, and duration. And depending upon the patient, lower Back Pain Causes and Treatments back pain treatment can vary from medications if the pain is moderate and intermittent, to epidural steroid injections or surgery.

Spondylolisthesis is the slippage of one of the vertebrae over the vertebra. This is diagnosed by x-ray. Pain is believed to occur where the displacement is, at or below the displacement, or when spinal stenosis is caused. Depending upon the patient, strengthening exercises or a back support may be all that’s required. In others, epidural steroid injections or surgery may be required.

Spondyloarthropathy refers to diseases affecting spinal joints; arthritis variations— psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, and sacroiliitis. Diagnosis consists of a physical exam, history, and testing including x-rays, CAT or MRI, as the disease progresses slowly, fusing sacroiliac joints together and joints between vertebrae together. In more severe or difficult cases, x-ray guided diagnostic injections may be necessary.

Systemic diseases such as cancer or osteoporosis affect the back less commonly. These occur increasingly with age. Alternative therapies and further imaging studies may be needed.

Pain following prior spine surgery is usually complicated and best treated by a board certified pain physician in combination with your surgeon. Pain may be from further herniated discs, the facet joints, scar tissue, or muscle spasm. Often, epidural steroids, and/or spinal cord stimulation are necessary to treat the pain.

For back pain help, there are a number of treatment options. Conservative measures including exercise programs, physical therapy, and chiropractic care will promote better enhanced posture and mobility. Arthritic medications may also help. Interventional pain options exist when conservative measures have failed. These include epidural steroid injections, use of radiofrequency energy, joint injections, spinal cord stimulators, and neuromodulation.

By offering complementary approaches such as acupuncture and a host of other modalities in conjunction with the most advanced pain management options, New York Pain Management is able to fulfill an integrative model— shifting the focus from the disease to the patient, and multiplying the number of strategies available in order to treat pain. An integrative approach provides increased options, symptomatic assistance, and hope to those in pain and suffering.

Targeted Procedures for Controlling Pain

Targeted Procedures for Controlling Pain

The following procedures may also help with chronic pain relief:

Injections and blocks. When a nerve is causing pain in a specific organ or body region, the pain can be temporarily blocked with an injection of a local anesthetic by producing a nerve block.

Nerve blocks may be used to diagnose the cause of pain, or as a treatment itself. Facet nerve blocks and sacroiliac joint injections are very helpful in diagnosing the cause of back pain. Nerve blocks are very helpful in treating post operative or acute pain. An injection of steroid may be very helpful in decreasing pain from sciatica, a pinched nerve, or a disc herniation. This is also known as an epidural steroid injection.

Radiofrequency ablation. In this procedure, a small area of nerve tissue is heated to decrease pain signals from that area. This is used most commonly to treat back or neck pain. The procedure is conducted under x-ray guided fluoroscopic imaging. Sedation is usually required for the success of this treatment, which is easily and safely performed in an office surgical suite. A needle is inserted at the nerve site, then an electrical current produced by a radio wave is used to heatand-destroy the nerve. The chronic pain relief lasts for a relatively long period—six to twelve months. After pain returns, the treatment can easily be repeated.

This is an outstanding and well proven therapy using advanced technology to target a painful region with few side effects and great results in experienced pain centers. Unfortunately, there are some insurance companies that have not been able to keep up with these advancements and are in need of education.

Trigger point injection. Trigger points or trigger zones are very tender locations in muscle or connective tissue. These zones cause pain to radiate outward from a “trigger” location affecting adjacent muscles or regions.

During the injection, a local anesthetic or numbing solution is injected into the trigger point to relieve the pain. This procedure is very safe in experienced hands and often quite effective. Repeat injections are often necessary to control the pain.

TENS therapy. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy is helpful for short-term and occasionally long-term pain relief. The treatment involves a small device or unit to deliver low-level electrical current to help minimize pain. TENS is especially helpful in treating various types of muscle pain and some nerve pain.

Pain pacemakers. Otherwise known as peripheral nerve or spinal cord stimulators, a pacemaker-type device is used to alter pain signals. They are a kind of an internalized and targeted TENS unit. Very low-level electrical impulses are delivered to the spinal cord or to specific nerves, which minimizes pain signals being sent to the brain.

Spinal cord stimulation is often used when other treatments have failed—as with failed back surgery or other nerve pain conditions. It is also very effective when there is poor circulation in the hand or foot. When more conservative measures fail for many types of pain, the stimulator may be very effective. If a temporary stimulator works well, then a permanent stimulator is used. Once implanted, the patients are able to control the stimulation by turning it up or down, or changing the targeted area.

Surgery. When conservative care, including the approaches outlined above, is unsuccessful, surgery may be helpful. Neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons may remove disc herniations, remove the pressure on pinched nerves, or stabilize unstable regions of the spine.

When Should I Consider Pain Management?

When Should I Consider Pain Management?

Most people at one time or another have experienced pain of some sort. In most cases their discomfort subsides in a few hours to a few days. Unfortunately, for many people, pain simply does not go away. The pain that they suffer from not only lasts longer, it more importantly affects every aspect of their lives. Activities that most people take for granted—walking, doing household tasks, buying groceries, or working— become painful and sometimes impossible chores.

Pain management is a multidisciplinary, multi-modality approach to help alleviate a person’s chronic pain and its impact on his or her personal and professional life. At New York Pain Management, we deliver a complete program of unique, state-ofthe-art pain control techniques to help you advance your functional ability, improve your emotional well-being, and optimize your quality of life. O ur multi-disciplinar y team includes physicians who are trained in anesthesiology and physical and rehabilitative medicine with sub-specialty training and board certification in pain management. At New York Pain Management, our job as pain physicians is to create an individualized care plan to manage and treat your pain. With pain, it is important to identify the cause—from muscle or nerve injury to certain metabolic imbalances. These different causes can have very similar signs and symptoms. Our job is to narrow down, from over a hundred different possible sources of pain, the one or two actual causes of your pain.

It is important to emphasize that everyone experiences pain differently. Often what works for one patient may have little benefit for someone else with a similar condition. In essence, pain management looks at the patient as a whole and tries to find the most suitable treatment options for his or her specific type of pain. Our multi-modal approach includes procedures such as epidural injections, rhizotomies, and spinal cord stimulators. Furthermore, we may recommend specific therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, or a variety of different medications as adjunctive treatment options. Your pain is unique and individual–thus the treatment of pain is also unique and individualized. There is no one size fits all treatment. At New York Pain Management, our physicians will give you an individualized plan and guidance every step of the way to a more fulfilling and more functional life.

Osteoarthritis – When Medications Are Not Enough

Osteoarthritis – When Medications Are Not Enough

John asks: “I had a recent x-ray showing that I have arthritis of the spine. How can I get rid of it?”

Hi John. The spine is composed of many small joints that allow movement such as bending and turning. Like all joints in your body, they can wear down over time, causing a condition known as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis of the spine can be a normal part of aging, but can be exacerbated by overuse, trauma, obesity, hereditary factors, and a variety of other conditions. Arthritis can be painful and limiting in terms of daily activities and function. If your knee or hip wears out, it can be replaced. Your spine, however, cannot be replaced. Fortunately, there are many options for patients with osteoarthritis of the spine. Often medications alone are all that are needed to relieve the pain of osteoarthritis. When medications are not enough, a pain physician can recommend injections that may be helpful. One solution may be to perform a rhizotomy which involves treating the nerves that are responsible for causing osteoarthritis pain in your spine. Consult your local board certified pain physician for more information or go to www.nypainfree.com.

Diane asks: “I have recurring sciatica that leaves me in severe pain for several months out of the year. Is there anything that can be done?”

Hi Diane. Sciatica is pain coming from the sciatic nerve – one of the main nerves that run down each leg. There are many causes of sciatica, but it is typically caused by irritation or compression of the nerve or the nerve roots that comprise the sciatic nerve anywhere from its origin along the low back to its end point down the legs. In most cases, treatment is initially conservative with a combination that may include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, or the application of ice or heat. If symptoms persist, a pain management specialist may recommend an injection to decrease the inflammation along the nerve. For many people, an injection along the nerve can provide significant and dramatic pain relief that is long lasting, allowing them to resume their normal activities of daily living. For those who do not respond to conservative measures or injections, surgery may be a final option to possibly alleviate the symptoms.

Keeping Yourself Warm and Pain-Free This Winter

Keeping Yourself Warm and Pain-Free This Winter

As winter comes into full swing, our attention turns to snow, ice and, winter activities. Here are a few tips to keep you pain-free this winter season. The winter environment can be great fun, but is also unforgiving.

  1. Be careful and pay attention – The most common causes of injuries in the winter include slips and falls. Make sure you wear proper footwear and take the extra time to walk slowly and to be aware of your surroundings. It only takes a small patch of ice to change a safe winter into a miserable painful one. Get an ice tip for your cane if you use one.
  2. Work safer -When shoveling snow, use proper equipment. Find a comfortable shovel to avoid repetitive injuries. Always wear gloves to protect your hands and boots to protect your feet and to prevent falls when clearing snow. Consider using an ergonomically designed shovel. The extra $5-10 in cost may save a lot of co-pay dollars. When operating a snow blower, wear protective goggles. Never put your hand in the chute to clear a jam with the machine off or on. Otherwise, plan on collecting your fingers when they come out the other side!
  3. Play safer—Helmets, Helmets, Helmets! – Use proper equipment when participating in winter activities. According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, in 2009 there were 16,948 winter sports (skiing, sledding, snowboarding, and snowmobiling) head injuries treated in emergency rooms. There were an additional 8,145 hockey related head injuries. When snowmobiling, skiing or snowboarding, always wear a helmet. When skiing, make sure you use proper fitting equipment that has had the bindings checked. Use proper technique to take some pressure off your back, knees, and other joints. Get a lesson for your safety and the safety of others! A very close call reminded me of this just last weekend. A little prevention can save you from a painful winter season.
  4. Take a break – Often we become so engrossed in our activities that we fail to take a much needed break. On your break, avoid consuming alcohol as it will impair your judgment and increase your heat loss. Repetitive motions are a common source of injury. Keep a timer and take a break every thirty minutes. Remember most ski injuries occur later in the day, especially on the third day of skiing or riding.
  5. Know your limits – Every individual is unique and there is no single regimen that will fit all. Know yourself. We tell our patients that they know their bodies better than anyone else does. If something feels wrong, just stop doing it. Know your limits! Most importantly, if you do injure yourself, don’t wait too long to seek medical advice. Often seemingly minor strains and sprains, if left untreated, can lead to more serious issues later on. With some attention and care, you can make your winter experience pain-free.

Question & Answer

Jan asks: “My doctor suggested that I get an epidural injection for my low back and leg pain, however, I am afraid of needles and worried about pain from the procedure. What can I do to get over my fears?” Dr. Phung: Hi Jan. An epidural injection can be an excellent means of treating low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc or irritation of the nerve root. Many people have a fear of needles and worry about pain from such procedures. At New York Pain Management we take many measures to make sure your experience is as comfortable as possible. First, we have experienced nurses that monitor your care before, during, and after the procedure. We also offer intravenous or intramuscular sedation to our patients for a more relaxing and comfortable experience. I tell my patients that you won’t be “knocked out” for the procedure, however sedation can make things considerably more pleasant and comfortable. Furthermore we provide an ample amount of local anesthetic to numb the injection area as well. Finally, all procedures are performed under x-ray guidance allowing us to know where the needle is at all times and to minimize the amount of irritation to the surrounding tissues. Although the physicians at New York Pain Management can’t guarantee your experience will be 100% pain free, I can promise that we do use a variety of measures to make sure that any procedure is as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Susan asks: “How important is it to find a physician that is board certified in pain management and what does it mean?” Dr. Phung: Hello Susan. Given the volume and breadth of medical knowledge, most physicians choose to specialize in a particular field of medicine and undergo additional training in a residency and/or fellowship. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), which is comprised of roughly twenty-four individual medical specialty boards, oversees medical education and medical training. The ABMS requires high standards of training and performance and ensures these standards by rigid initial and periodic examinations. Applicants who successfully meet these standards receive diplomas and are considered “board certified.” Finding a physician that is board certified in pain medicine ensures that your physician has undergone the highest level of training and possesses the most up-to-date knowledge to address your pain needs.
