@honest_physio @DerekGriffin86 @GatesPhysio @physiojack Good responses so far. Also see the NICE guidelines from 2021 nice.org.uk/guidance/ng193…

What's the latest on Fibromyalgia diagnosis? @DerekGriffin86 @GatesPhysio @physiojack

No #parkrun for me today (sore foot). Got the opportunity to enjoy the glorious scenery at Stansted Park rather than just the running path - but boy was it cold….

Calling all HCPs who treat people with persistent pain! The #PainkillersDontExist campaign has shifted its focus to those at risk of dependence & addiction. The website contains a range of resources to support patients as well as HCPs. Check it out here: painkillersdontexist.com

@TheHipPhysio Sounds like private sector care…

If an individual with hip pain has: A pelvic xray that is inconclusive An MRI that is unremarkable An MRA that is unremarkable & an injection that has had no significant pain relief. I'm not sure an exploratory hip scope is the answer. I may be wrong.

@AdamMeakins Absolutely agree, doesn’t change management significantly. However, it’s good to have in the notes in case there’s a change.

I really don’t understand why physios waste so much time and energy in trying to figure out which level nerve root pain is originating from when it makes fuck all difference in how we manage it! 🤔🤷‍♂️

@AdamMeakins Directly, pain becomes an injury when the sensation of ‘hurt’ alters function causing secondary stress on tissues resulting in overload or when a clinician starts to medicalise.

When does a pain become an injury?

@CherieSears73 So true - lucky to have you I’m my life

@DerekGriffin86 We have a relatively easy tool in the form of the @RCPhysicians diagnostic worksheet to make a diagnosis of FM. However it seems unkind for a clinician to be able to do unless they have a structure in place to start to support patients once the diagnosis is given.

The Royal College of Physicians' guidelines for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. A nice, clinician friendly guide to how to approach this in everyday clinical practice. rcpjournals.org/content/clinme…

@parkrunUK There is something special about #parkrun / #parkwalk. The taking part and feeling belonging within a totally accepting community. #parkrunUK

“My 16-year-old daughter suffers from anxiety when going out on her own. “The other week my husband and I were away and she got up to parkrun, without us reminding her. “I asked her why and she said she felt like parkrun was her safe place." 💬 Clare Jones 🌳 #loveparkrun

@DanBockmannDC @Retlouping Dave Newell and @Flis_Bishop_PhD have been drivers on this (can’t find his Twitter ac now so may be on a break). @Dimilandia @AECCUniversityC @unisouthampton

@DanBockmannDC @Retlouping We do appear able to do things that can maximise the positive impact of contextual effects in care. This overlaps work on therapeutic-alliance. Lots published on this from psychology and increasingly in #physiotherapy and #chiropractic

In MSK: ✅ Pain isn't measurable ✅ We don't know what causes pain ✅ No treatments work consistently ✅ Patient improvements can't be attributed to a treatment ✅ Outcomes assessments aren't reliable ✅ Any improvement is likely from contextual effects Did I get that right?

Today's #NationalMentoringDay! Did you know "employees who received mentoring were promoted five times more often than those who didn’t have mentors" - @NMDglobal Let's celebrate our PRT Trainers who mentor a student & thank them for the hard work they do! rcc-uk.org/prt

It’s common for #axialSpA to cause pain and stiffness in your hips and sacroiliac (SI) joints, so @YogaforAS teacher, Geoff Lindsay, has designed a yoga session to gently stretch these areas. If you can’t join this session live, you can catch up afterwards on our Facebook page.
