  • Ep 161– Post-herpetic neuralgia
    Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most common complication following an episode of shingles and can affect up to one in five people. Pain is typically described as burning or like an electric shock and is often associated with allodynia and hyperalgesia. It can have significant effects on both physical and psychological well-being, with sleep disturbance and depression being frequently described. PHN is notoriously difficult to treat, with a significant number of patients achieving only a modest reduction in their symptoms despite combinations of analgesic agents. In this episode, Dr Kate Chesterman explores the treatment options available in primary care.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at: https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/neurology/ep-161-post-herpetic-neuralgiaDid you know?

  • Ep 158 – Rotator cuff tears
    A rotator cuff injury is an event that causes pain in the shoulder. This can be due to a tear, inflammation or narrowing of the space within the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff muscles interlock to work as a unit. They help to stabilise the shoulder joint and also help with shoulder joint movement. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson takes a specific look at tears to the rotator cuff – a problem often seen in primary care. The episode covers causes, diagnosis and treatment, including conservative approaches and surgical options.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/musculoskeletal-medicine/ep-158-rotator-cuff-tears.Did you know?

  • Ep 157 – Ganglion cysts
    Ganglion cysts, also sometimes referred to as synovial cysts, are the most common benign soft-tissue masses of the hand and wrist. These cysts arise from the synovial lining of joints or tendon sheaths and are filled with a gelatinous, mucin-rich fluid. Despite their benign nature, ganglion cysts can cause discomfort, restrict motion and cause neurovascular compression (requiring medical intervention in some cases). In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, differential diagnoses and treatment options.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/orthopaedics/ep-157-ganglion-cysts.Did you know?
