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

Anterolateral shoulder pain & weakness on cuff testing
MRI - easily identified significant PASTA lesion (partial articular surface tendon avulsion)
POCUS - signs relatively subtle - easy for the beginner sonographer to miss / skirt over:
'Deltoid dip sign' - into the area of relative volume loss of supraspinatus
'Cartilage interface sign' - hyperechoic line at the interface between the normally hypoechoic hyaline articular cartilage of the humeral head and an abnormally hypoechoic (eg torn) supraspinatus tendon

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

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: nature.com/articles/s4146…
