Fibromyalgia/Pain
Chronic low back pain is a common complaint that brings patients to the doctor’s attention. Although the majority of low back pain is mechanical in nature, an important minority is inflammatory in nature. Therefore, prompt referral to a rheumatologist is warranted particularly in the presence of other features suggestive of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
Drs. Jack Cush and Arthur Kavanaugh discuss highlights and key takeaways from ACR 23.

Who uses #cannabis in #rheumatic #diseases? Those who smoke, have higher pain, more anxiety, poor sleep are more likely to have used cannabis for their rheumatic disease. Half of the >2900 respondents have tried #cannabis. Use of #biologics reduced use. #980 @RheumNow @ACRheum https://t.co/DQDRQN40zR

Michaud et al. RA patients with long COVID had more fibromyalgia pre-COVID (41% vs 13%), higher rates of pain, depression, and worse PROs pre-COVID. Authors suggest long COVID may partially reflect pre-existing illness Abstr#1629 #ACR23 #ACRbest @RheumNow https://t.co/mrcGWrSD6c https://t.co/YiGCbvBDtn

Can US differentiate pain? In #ACR23 Abs. #1388 PsA pts who have pain & inflammatory enthesitis on US, process pain differently than the US negative patients, despite the induction of pain or discomfort on all groups. Interesting finding. https://t.co/YcccLoQCBj @rheumnow https://t.co/o94bMwndxX

"Mindfulness helps me experience less suffering over pain" in patient with PsA + fibromyalgia.
⭐️Consider recommending mindfulness training such as mindfulness based stress reduction
