Misdiagnosis of Posture symptoms
Posture symptoms: Related Misdiagnoses
Scapulocostal syndrome: The Scapulocostal syndrome is a common
musculoskeletal, pain-producing syndrome that mainly affects the posterior
shoulder area, but, because of radiation, characteristics it can mimic
numerous other conditions including cervical radicular pain, intrinsic shoulder
joint disease and even visceral pain. It can be diagnosed clinically with a
careful history and physical examination. There are no related blood test abnormalities
or imaging abnormalities in the syndrome, but these tests may be useful in
eliminating other entities from diagnostic consideration. The condition is
related to poor posture and is common in typists, gymnasts and other sports
people.
