How to Avoid Opioid Addiction After Surgery

Although SIH is commonly defined as a low opening pressure (<6 cm H2O), normal CSF pressure is a common presentation and should not be overlooked. CSF pressure increases with time, despite the presence of active leaks. Kranz and colleagues suggest that it is CSF volume, rather than pressure, that is the underlying mechanism of SIH, and that the integrity of the relationship between CSF volume and CSF pressure varies with changes from supine to upright posture and with loss or removal of CSF.

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic pain, stiffness, and tenderness of muscles, tendons, and joints without detectable inflammation. It affects an estimated 3 to 6 million Americans. Fibromyalgia is the second most common disorder seen by rheumatologists. It predominantly affects women at a rate of 3.4%, and less commonly, men at 0.5%, children at 1.2% to 6.2%, and the elderly. Prevalence increases with age, and diagnosis is most common between ages 60 and 79, although symptoms are often present years prior to diagnosis. It can occur independently or can be associated with another rheumatic disease, such as systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
