Arthritis
Many diseases and conditions can cause peripheral neuropathy. The damage may occur due to lack of oxygen, malnutrition, compression, cancer, trauma, inflammation, toxins, and medications. Diseases that can damage peripheral nerves include diabetes (type 1 or type 2), alcoholism, aids, lyme disease, rheumatoid arthritis, uremia from chronic kidney failure, autoimmune disorders, hypothyroidism.
Fibromyalgia
Contained within the broad category of musculoskeletal disorders are a number of specific diseases and causes of pain, several of which affect a large percentage of the population. Musculoskeletal disorders range from back pain to rheumatoid arthritis and gout, and include different types of arthritis, tendinitis, and musculoskeletal pain. The most prevalent disorders are low back pain, osteoarthritis, and so-called soft tissue rheumatism. Even though they afflict millions of persons around the world, several of the common musculoskeletal disorders fall into the category of moderately prevalent, including gout, a form of episodic arthritis; fibromyalgia, a disorder of diffuse muscular pain and a subtype of soft tissue rheumatism; and rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory systemic disorder that causes widespread joint pain.
Cryotherapy
Long term nerve block can be done with application of heat, cold, or chemicals. Cryotherapy (cold) is usually very short lived and requires relatively large needle diameters. Chemicals such as phenol or glycerol are often effective but can spread beyond the target nerve to hurt nearby structures. Application of heat energy using radio waves can be an effective way to safely block nerves for long periods of time.
Primary Care
For chronic pain sufferers, finding relief from their pain can be difficult and time consuming. Sometimes patients are shuffled back and forth between primary care physicians, specialists, and therapists of all kinds in search of a solution to their pain problems. Interventional pain management can be a useful alternative for patients who have exhausted other treatment methods without success and may be the solution chronic pain sufferers are looking for.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Musculoskeletal disorders include carpal tunnel syndrome, trapezius myalgia, epicondylitis, tendonitis, bursitis, deQuervain’s disease, rotator cuff tendonitis, thoracic outlet syndrome, intersection syndrome, ulna nerve entrapment, and trigger finger.
Epilepsy

Treatment may include biofeedback, acupuncture, physical therapy, active and passive exercises help maintain function. exercising in a warm pool may feel better than exercising on land, transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS), a device worn on the skin surface creates a tingling sensation and may relieve pain in some cases, medication, anti-anxietymedications, low-dose antidepressants, and drugs used to treat epilepsy may be effective, pain medications, such as narcotics, may be required to controlsevere pain, sometimes doctors will order other drugs to control symptoms, sympathetic nerve block, the injection of drugs that prevent the transmission of signals along sympathetic nerves may temporarily relieve pain in some cases, sympathectomy, if the nerve block is successful, a surgeon can permanently destroy sympathetic nerves. in some cases, surgery can worsen symptoms, psychological support, long-term pain often leads to depression or anxiety. counseling is often required to help patients deal with chronic pain and loss of function.

Ultrasound
Dr. Alsharif is experienced in a multitude of interventional pain procedures, including but not limited to cervical and lumbar epidurals, sympathetic blockade, spinal cord stimulator placement (neuromodulation), electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS), baclofen intrathetical trials, botox injections for treatment of muscle spasticity and headaches, with special training in ultrasound guided musculoskeletal injections for sports-related injuries.
MRI
An IV and antibiotic infusion will be started prior to the procedure. The patient will be placed in prone (face down) position and using live X-ray the target disc levels will be identified. This will involve the level(s) that based on the MRI and the patient s symptoms might be responsible for the pain, in addition to an unaffected level as control. After numbing the skin overlying these areas, the needles will be directed inside the discs under fluoroscopic guidance. At this time the physician will inject contrast solution in the disk. This step will not only pressurize the disc space, but it will also show the morphology (shape) of the disc. By asking the patient questions about the quality and location of pain, the physician will determine the pathological disc.
Radiology
We may share and discuss your medical information with a provider, an outside laboratory, radiology center, home health agency, durable medical equipment agency or other health care facility, agency, or provider where we have referred you for testing or treatment.

Chemotherapy
Whereas varicella is generally a disease of childhood, herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia become more common with increasing age. Factors that decrease immune function, such as human immunodeficiency virus infection, chemotherapy, malignancies and chronic corticosteroid use, may also increase the risk of developing herpes zoster. Reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus from dorsal root ganglia is responsible for the classic dermatomal rash and pain that occur with herpes zoster.
