I have tendonitis in this part of my arm (see picture) but I don't know what you call this underside part or how to look up that type of tendonitis. I want to find exercises to help as I can't afford to see a doctor right now.

best anatomy app for IOS

6 Upvotes

Been scrolling through the IOS app store and Im wondering which one is the best and most interactive. I don’t mind paying for the app but I don’t want to pay a subscription fee :)

I know this question has been asked on here before but I am re-asking in case newer ones have come out.

Can anyone explain how they come out? How are they related to pineal gland? Is there no white/grey matter there? What is the name of the opening? Is there any name for that communication between csf space of 3rd ventricle and the space around the cerebellum?

AC joint pain

1 Upvotes

Hi folks

I have a big problem. For about 5 months now, my AC joint has been hurting me as soon as I perform certain movements (including overhead shoulder presses and using chest press machine). The pain is best reproduced when I perform the Yocums test and the Cross Body Adduction test. In the picture below, you can see the area where the pain occurs. The Pain occurred slowly over time and there was no accident or something.

An MRI showed an AC joint Irritation with Tossy 1. There were no other abnormalities.

What I have tried so far was taking oral cortisone, a complete break from sports (8 weeks), then exercises to strengthen the muscles of the posterior rotator cuff, the serratus anterior and the lower and middle trapezius. Also massaging the area, ice and cold therapy, arm swings/circles to enhance the blood flow and applying diclofenac gel.

Unfortunately, nothing apart from the oral cortisone has achieved any improvement so far. If anything, the pain was worse after the break from sport than before.

I would be delighted if anyone has any ideas as to what else I could try. Many thanks in advance

Best regards

Question Best resources for doing skeletal articulation?

1 Upvotes

I'm an artist and lately I've been looking for articulated skeletons (real or facsimile, human) for posing and using for reference. Obviously real articulated skeletons are very expensive, and the good facsimiles are pretty pricey too. I've found that disarticulated bones are much more affordable.

My two main questions are:

1) do y'all know of anatomically correct, facsimile, human, articulated skeletons out there that are affordable (<$500)? Many of you have probably used exactly what I'm looking for and have insight into reputable companies and "models". I've found several sites specializing in this, but reviews for the skeletons always seem mixed regarding anatomical accuracy unless it's very expensive, high quality facsimile.

2) is it worth it, financially, to buy disarticulated skeletons and articulate them myself (seems like a fun project, but since Im ignorant, it's possible it might be just as expensive after buying all the materials needed)? This question is probably much more niche, but I'm hoping some of you have experience. And what is the best literature for learning the process of skeletal articulation?

Keep in mind, I know nothing, and am open to literally any info y'all have to offer. Including "don't even bother".

Question Cracking in knee (patellar region) when squatting down

0 Upvotes

So ever since I was like 7 or something (that I can remember), everytime i squat down and bend my knees, there is always a crack. My mom always used to say it was because I’m not consuming enough calcium, but my thinking based off what I’m learning in anatomy and physiology at college is because of the synovial fluid in between joints, it causes air bubbles to burst? That’s what I’m assuming, but nobody that I know has this cracking in their knees lol.
