Debbie Solsman was employed as a cafeteria worker for 14 years at Denver Place Elementary School in Wilmington, Ohio. In February 2017, she was terminated for giving additional food to students who remained hungry, including her grandchildren. On several occasions, she paid for the food herself or left IOUs. The school district cited her dismissal as a result of not properly accounting for food sales.
Debbie expressed no regret for her actions and said she would do it again to support children in need.
She passed away on October 5, 2019, at the age of 59.

🔈 TIGHT INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH OR DYSPNEA

Chest wall or Rib Pain is an annoying pain, which is quite common following intercostal muscle spasm or muscle sprain. An individual can sprain any muscle of the body, including those in the chest area resulting in severe pain. Intercostal muscle sprain results in severe spasmodic shooting pain.

Intercostal Muscles facilitate breathing. The muscles between the ribs are known as intercostal Muscles. Intercostal Muscles have a very vital role to play when it comes to movement of the ribs like while breathing.

The 11 groups of intercostal muscles lie on right and left side. Three layers of intercostal muscles are attached to upper and lower rib known as intercostal space. The three layers of intercostal muscles are outer layer known as external oblique, middle layer known as transverse intercostal muscles and inner layer known as internal oblique intercostal muscles. The function of the Intercostal Muscle is to stabilize the structure of the chest wall. The Intercostal Muscles also join the ribs together. The external and internal intercostal muscles fibers run in opposite oblique direction. Middle muscle layer runs in horizontal direction.

🔒 CAUSES OF INTERCOSTAL MUSCLE SPRAIN

* Upper Body Twist
* Forceful Twist Of Upper Body
* Forceful Swing Of The Arm
* Direct Chest Wall Impact

🔒 SYMPTOMS OF INTERCOSTAL MUSCLE SPRAIN

Sudden Acute Intense Pain
* Pain is localized over the sprained muscles.
* Pain intensity is severe, sharp and intense pain.
* Pain is associated with tenderness. Patient feels severe pain with palpation or examination of the area of the chest with sprain intercostal muscles.
* The main symptom of an Intercostal Muscle sprain is severe and constant pain in the chest wall area.
* If left untreated, after some time the pain may start occurring with movement or activities like breathing, coughing, sneezing etc.
* It is a self-limiting medical condition and usually resolves on its own after a few days.

🔒 SWELLING AND TENDERNESS

* Swelling is observed over the sprained intercostal muscles.
* Swelling is secondary to subcutaneous hematoma or inflammation of the muscles.

🔒 SHORTNESS OF BREATH OR DYSPNEA

* Patient complaints of shortness of breath also known as dyspnea.
* Shortness of breath is secondary to increase of pain intensity during inhalation.
* Patient stops taking deep breath when pain become severe and act of breathing results in short of completing of inspiration.

🔒 CHEST WALL STIFFNESS

* Patient complaints of chest wall stiffness.
* Patient prefers to take shallow breath.
* Stiffness is localized around the tender chest wall area.

🔒 TREATMENT FOR INTERCOSTAL MUSCLE SPRAIN

As stated above, Intercostal Muscle Sprain is a self-limiting medical condition and resolves itself within a few weeks. There may be steps taken to calm down the pain and inflammation that a person experiences with Intercostal Muscle sprain. Conservative treatment helps a long way in relieving symptoms and may include:

* Adequate rest
* Applying ice to the affected area
* Cold compresses
* Limited stretching exercises
* Physical therapy and/or massage therapy

🔈 THOMAS TEST

🔒 PURPOSE
The Thomas Test or Iliacus Test or Iliopsoas Test is used to measure the flexibility of the iliopsoas muscle group, the Re**us Femoris, as well as the M. Tensor Fascia Latae and the artorius. Measuring the flexibility of this muscle is not useful, because we don’t have a standard meeting length of muscle. The most important aspect of this test is that of the range of motion the hip, as various diseases such as patellofemoral pain syndrome, lower back pain, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, may be related to this impaired range of motion.

🔒 TECHNIQUE
The patient should be supine, using the whole length of the table. The patient must then maximally flex both knees, using both arms. This ensures that the lumbar spine is flexed and flat on the table and avoids a posterior tilt of the pelvis.The patient then lowers the tested limb toward the table. During the test the contralateral hip is held in maximal flexion.The length of the iliopsoas is measured by the angle of the hip flexion.

A modified version of the test is one in which the patient lies down on their back, at the very edge of the table, with both legs hanging freely. The patient must then flex their knee and pull it back to their chest as close as they can, using both arms while doing so. The other leg can hang down.The lumbar spine must remain flat and in contact with the table during the test. The physiotherapist controls the opposite leg to ensure that it maintains full contact with the table.

➖ Negative result: The lower back and the sacrum should remain on the table. The hip can make a 10° posterior tilt or a 10° hip extension. The knee must be able to make a 90° flexion.

➕ Positive result: When the patient is not able to maintain their lower back and sacrum against the table. Otherwise if the hip has a large posterior tilt or hip extension greater than 15°, or if the knee is not able to meet flexion of 80° or more.

Sometimes muscles can become weak, not from lack of use but to "guard" the muscle. When this happens, the body seamlessly recruits other muscles to compensate for the ones that have been weakened or "turned off." In the case, the abdominals were unable to engage until we applied treatment. Please share questions and comments below,

THE TRUTH ABOUT IT BAND SYNDROME

The iliotibial (IT) band is a thick sheet of connective tissue on the outside of the thigh and is a common source of pain on the outer knee.

We used to think that the band got tight and rubbed over the outside of the femur, causing 🔥friction and inflammation of a bursa on the outer knee. We now know that the IT band is locked down tighter than Fort Knox and isn't moving anywhere. And that bursa doesn't even exist.

What's really going on is a compression syndrome.🗜 While there is no bursa, what is present is a fat pad with a lot of nerve endings. And when the IT band gets taut, it compresses on the fat pad, causing pain.

❌So the last thing we want to do is add more compression by rolling on it! If you've been rolling and you're not seeing results, put the roller away as you may be prolonging the irritation.

✅Instead, spend time working on the muscles attached to it at the hip. Then address movement faults that lead to the compression in the first place.
