• Women have more problems than men with muscle and joint pain, including extremity pain, knee pain and pelvic pain, due to anatomical, hormonal and vocational differences.
• Common joint and muscle strains and sprains of the hips, knees, shoulders, elbows and wrists are considered extremity pain.
• Chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia and polymyalgia also cause extremity pain.
• Treatment of extremity pain in women often involves manual therapy to decrease spinal nerve inflammation, when present, and education regarding proper posture and body mechanics.
