Having severe Low back pain? Not every back pain is disc buldge or muscle strain. It might be your Sacroiliac (SI) joint.
That deep ache on one side of your lower back, pain when standing up, walking, or rolling in bed, SI joint is a common culprit. 
✨ The SI joint connects your spine to your pelvis
and plays a huge role in stability, load transfer, and movement.
✨ Pain is usually localised to the low back, but sometimes can be referred to buttock region
✨ It is usually a result of some sort of trauma or fall. Some may be due to systemic inflammatory arthritis. 
💊 Treatment included;
- Physical and manual therapy to reduce pain and improve mobility
- Core & glute strengthening to improve pelvic stability
- Oral analgesia/medications 
💉 When conservative management fails, an Ultrasound guided injection can be useful in reducing pain. Following that, Cryoneurolysis or Radiofrequency can provide longer term pain relief.  
❄️ Cryoneurolysis is a minimally invasive treatment that uses controlled cold delivered via a needle probe, to temporarily interrupt pain signals from the nerves around the SI joint. It is a bedside, Daycare procedure.  
When pain is reduced, you can move better, strengthen properly, and finally make progress in rehabilitation. If your low back pain feels stubborn or keeps coming back, it’s time to look deeper.

👨🏻‍🏫 First time sitting on this side of the table for Medical Professional Exam. Thankful for the opportunity to serve my Alma mater this time round for the final, exit exam for Sports Medicine specialist programme. 
👨🏻‍🏫 It brought back so much memories, sweet and some terrifying ones especially during exam periods. I spent 9 years of my tertiary education here in University Malaya, Medical Degree 2007-2012, Masters of Sports Medicine 2017-2021 and Yes, I definitely dont miss those examinations that we have to go through.  
👏🏻 A huge Congratulations to those candidates that have passed. You guys did Great and deserved a good break after all the hardwork and sleepless night. Never stop learning and continue to grow. 💯
🤗 To those who didnt make it this time round, dont lose hope. An exam is just a Snapshot, it is not the full picture of your Potential. So take time to rest and recharge, then come back Stronger, Wiser. You can do it!!!

✨ Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for Severe Knee Osteoarthritis ✨
For patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, genicular nerve RFA is becoming a powerful, minimally invasive option to help regain comfort and mobility. 
Using ultrasound guidance, we can accurately target the genicular nerves (small nerves around the knee that transmit pain) without exposing you to radiation. 🔍🦵 
🔥 What RFA does:
It gently heats and desensitizes these nerves, reducing pain signals. It can be done via Daycare procedure (no hospital stay), and typically a quick return to your daily activities. 
💡 Who benefits most:
• Severe knee OA
• Persistent pain despite medications and physiotherapy
• Patients who are not suitable or wanting to delay knee replacement surgery (Too young or Unfit medically)
• Persistant pain after knee replacement surgery 
🌟 Many patients report significant improvement in pain and function for months after the procedure. A systematic review revealed that genicular RFA is an effective and safe method for pain relief and improved function in the short and long terms (6 months to 24 months) for subjects with OA knee pain with no safety concerns identified.

🎉 Thankful for the invitation to be the speaker and fascilitator for Northern Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Sports Medicine Workshop! 🩺💪 
Congratulations to Sports Medicine Unit, Hospital Seberang Jaya, in collaboration with MASM, for successfully organized the 1st ever Northern region Sports Medicine course.  
Sports Physicians from Kedah, Perlis, Penang and Perak were involved in the whole workshop. Teamwork makes the dream work.  
What an incredible day of learning, collaboration, and hands-on scanning! Participants had the opportunity to refine their skills in musculoskeletal and sports ultrasound, guided by experienced faculty and real-time practical sessions. 
With the focus on knee & ankle, we explored how point-of-care ultrasound enhances diagnosis, treatment planning, and guided interventions for athletes and active individuals. 
A big thank you to all the participants, faculty, and organizers who made this workshop a success. Your enthusiasm and commitment to advancing Sports Medicine are what make these events truly impactful. 🙌
