Editorial : From The New England Journal of Medicine Muscle pain is common. Fibromyalgia occurs in 2 percent of the general population (in 0.5 percent of males and 1.5 percent of females) and is diagnosed in approximately 15 percent of patients seen in rheumatology clinics and up to 10 percent of those seen in general internal-medicine clinics. Low back pain, which in many cases is of myofascial origin, has a lifetime prevalence as high as 80 percent and accounts for 20 million sick days per year in the United States. Twenty percent of persons in the general population have chronic regional pain. Nocturnal muscle cramps are common in all age groups, with an especially high prevalence among elderly persons (50 percent) and pregnant women (81 percent). The high prevalence of muscle pain is not surprising, since more than 200 paired skeletal muscles (the exact count depends on the extent of muscle subdivision), each with free nociceptors at nerve endings, account for 40 percent or more of body weigh

This book answers all possible questions regarding muscle pain--from local muscle soreness to the fibromyalgia syndrome. The unique concept behind the book is the combination of neuroanatomical and neurophysiological data with the clinical management of all diseases that exhibit muscle pain.

If you are familiar with Radclyffe's work, then there is nothing that I can tell you. To Alice, who has never been away from home before, starting with a trip to Antarctica seems logical, but how to deal with her emotions is totally beyond her. I was taken to the LA Hall of Justice, which was an annex of County Jail located cross-town. These muscle and joint issues can play ping-pong and persist because one tends to re-activate the other if they are treated alternately, or one at a time. I was kept there in solitaire for a few months until my release, and it was an eerie place.

I had the whole floor to myself, except for staff. I find myself having to reiterate many of the sections to under
