Osteochondritis dissecans is a joint condition where a portion of bone beneath the cartilage loses blood supply, causing the bone and cartilage to weaken, and in some cases loosen or detach.

It most often affects the knee, but can also involve the ankle or elbow, especially in adolescents and young adults.

Common causes include:

• Repetitive stress or overuse
• Microtrauma over time
• Genetic or developmental factors

Symptoms may include:

• Joint pain with activity
• Swelling or stiffness
• Catching, locking, or giving way
• Reduced range of motion

Early diagnosis matters 👉🏼 treatment ranges from activity modification to surgical repair, depending on stability and severity.

The brain can still process pain signals even when you’re unconscious, including during sleep and under anesthesia. 😴

When you’re asleep, the brain continues to receive sensory input, which is why pain can wake you up. Under general anesthesia, pain signals may still travel through the nervous system, but awareness and memory are suppressed, so pain isn’t consciously felt.

Different states of unconsciousness affect how pain is processed…but the nervous system rarely “shuts off” completely.

🦴 Ever heard of a subchondral bone cyst? They’re more common than people realize.

These fluid-filled spaces form in the bone just beneath joint cartilage, often alongside arthritis or cartilage damage. They’re not true cysts, but a sign of ongoing joint stress.

The olecranon bursa sits just beneath the skin at the tip of the elbow, providing a smooth, low-friction surface between the olecranon and the overlying tissues.

When irritated from pressure, repetitive leaning, impact, or prolonged compression, this thin fluid-filled sac can become swollen or painful, a condition known as olecranon bursitis. 💥

Most cases improve with activity modification, protection of the elbow, and guided care to reduce inflammation.

🧠 Cervical myelopathy is spinal cord compression in the neck that affects strength, coordination, and balance.

It’s most often caused by age-related changes like disc herniation, bone spurs, or thickened ligaments that narrow the spinal canal.

Common signs include hand clumsiness, difficulty with buttons or writing, changes in walking, leg stiffness, or worsening balance. Because it’s typically progressive, early recognition is key.

👉🏼Keep this for later, symptoms are easy to miss.
