Plexalgia

Plexalgia is a condition characterized by constant pain and discomfort in the muscles of the chest and limbs. This disorder is not an independent disease, but manifests itself in other diseases, most often of a neurological nature. The disease is characterized by the fact that symptoms disappear when exposure to the irritating factor ceases or decreases.

Plexalgia is often accompanied by signs of a central nervous system disorder.

Plexopathy is a unique, fairly common pain disorder in the form of a subjectively felt sensation of various pains (albeit usually in a certain “system of non-monosymmetrical” areas of the body).

Plexopathic pain, in general, refers to any painful manifestations that occur without specific changes (disturbances) in the musculoskeletal tissue or internal organs, under the skin, and are determined by palpation in the form of simple and extended pain reflexes that are not amenable to topical afferent diagnosis.

The term plexopathies was first introduced into practice by the clinician S. Barchielli back in 1860. The definition of plexalgia includes a group of symptom complexes inherent in one or another part of the nervous system: ansematopsia, ansibenia, polyneuritis, osteochondrosis, spinagomyesis, radiculitis, etc.

The cause of its occurrence is often Scheuermann-Mau disease. Other possible causes of plexalgia: - degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the spine; - inflammatory diseases of peripheral nerves; - compression-ischemic lesions; - injuries to peripheral nerves and spinal cord; An example is the lateral localization of plexalgia. Pain occurs predominantly on the outer side of the body, which correlates with disorders in the corresponding lateral sections of the spinal nerve roots. Pain is caused by large, extensive receptors, trophic cells of nerve nodes, autonomic vessels, while
