Musculoskeletal symptoms may be a consequence of orthopaedic, neurologic or rheumatologic processes and hence a comprehensive history and examination is required. Based on the findings further tests and imaging are requested to confirm the diagnosis or rule out other serious conditions.

Hip Pain

Hip pain is a common condition and can be quite disabling because of the impact on walking. Pain may be localised to the front, side or back of the hip joint. Common cause for anterior hip pain is joint problems such as arthritis, that on the outer side of hip is greater trochanteric pain syndrome whereas posterior hip pain may arise from multiple sources such as sacroiliac joint, lumbar spine, piriformis muscle etc. It is important to evaluate lumbar spine as spine pathology commonly coexists and can be responsible for producing/ exacerbating hip pain.

When it comes to managing hip arthritis pain, there is a large lacuna in the treatment options as medications often offer limited relief or are limited by side effects and surgery is not always the answer as many are unwilling or unfit to have one. Some in their 40s and 50s are considered to be too young to undergo a joint replacement. Besides 5 to 15% of patients have persisting pain even after having a hip replacement. New treatment options including radiofrequency ablation, cooled radiofrequency and cryoablation offer a ray of hope for hip arthritis patients not keen on surgery. Although these options have been used most often for arthritis pain, they work equally well for other hip joint pain conditions such as avascular necrosis (AVN).

It is located at the tip of the shoulder forming the highest point of the shoulder. Like many other joints in the body, it has cartilage covering the ends of the bone, is surrounded by a capsule and stabilised by strong ligaments. This joint has minimal mobility. It is involved in overhead arm movement and when the arm is moved across the body. Arthritis of this joint is more common than that of the shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) although is less common than that of the hip and the knee joints.

The name trigger finger comes from the similarity with a gun trigger being pulled or released. This is a common cause of hand pain and is seen in roughly 2- 3 percent of general population. Thumb or ring finger of women in the fifth or sixth decade of life is most commonly affected. The condition can however involve multiple fingers and both hands. What are the causes of trigger finger/thumb? Tendons are rope like structures which attach the muscles to the bones. These are surrounded by a covering (sheath) and are held attached firmly to the bones by anchors called pulleys. A disparity in the size of the tendons and the sheath or the anchors results in the disruption of the smooth gliding mechanism and the resulting snapping or locking sensation is addressed as trigger finger. The exact cause of this condition is not known, but
