Talk:Myositis ossificans

Scleroderma

I train a person with sclaraderma. She is starting to to develop myositis ossificans. Her flexibility is completely deminished and not getting any better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trainer23 (talk • contribs) 04:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it is spelt scleroderma.

While I have not been diagnosed with that, my neurologist and orthopaedic doctors think I may have myositis ossificans, the symptoms of which have developed over a number of years and got missed by many prior doctors. I have been losing muscle mass in my right thigh, and it has long felt like a hip problem. Other have tried to diagnose me with multiple sclerosis - a big error - but it is becoming very uncomfortable, even though I can still go and work out at the gym. For cardio, I just stick to the bicycle machine rather than the elipses or stair steppers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.24.214.73 (talk • contribs) 06:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't see what the confusion, is they are two totally separate diseases. One is an abnormal reposnse to a deep bruise, wherein the body "heals" the area by mineralizing it. It is very rare, but it can happen to just about anybody. It is characterized by someone who gets a bruise and the pain doesn't stop. It is sometimes treated by surgical removal.

The other disease is some crazy heretical disease that is progressive and incurable. Totally different.

please remove "crazy hertical" from the above language. myositis ossificans (progressiva) is quite real and not fun to live with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.38.106.126 (talk) 14:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

As an EP it is my understanding the Myositis ossificans happens as a result of a contusion, the hematoma that results calcifies over time and can be seen on an x-ray up to 3weeks post injury. What happens is the osteoblasts replace the fibroblasts in the healing hematoma and begin to build new bone in the hematoma. 6-7 weeks later growth will cease and a hard lump can be felt in the area. Some bone may be reabsorbed by the body but a lump will still remain. Inappropriate treatments are heat application and massage therapies to the area. Little can be done once the bone has formed and a slow reabsorbtion process must take place, treatment such as electrothrapy and small range of movement exercises (ROM) can be undertaken. surgery and corticosteroid injections are of little help and may accelerate the condition further —Preceding unsigned comment added by Howlin mad murphy (talk • contribs) 04:00, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Is there a better image or is this one acceptable to add as an example? Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 13:40, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

I happen to have an excellent image of my own hip, and you can see the right one is perfect and the left which was badly damaged along with my femur, can be seen covered with bone growth. I don't know how to upload the image, so if someone could contact me and help me, it would be greatly appreciated. at Aiglard@hotmail.com.
