By Michael Perry, M.D. Degenerative disc disease frequently causes lower back pain, otherwise known as lumbago. This condition is one of the most common and can arise due to a variety of factors, including sudden trauma, but the most common reason for developing degenerative disc disease is simply growing older.
Background: Bony raised bumps on the forehead are not rare and are known as osteomas. They occur due to the development of normal bone under the periosteum of the non-hair bearing forehead.They are benign overgrowths of bone that are non-mobile.arge frontal osteomas that are more than just a bump on the forehead are rare. But they present differently due to their size and their association with other symptoms such as pain. A CT scan will show that the osteoma is more aggressive as it extends deeper into the skull bone and is a truly expansile bone lesion.
What is osteomyelitis? Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone, caused by bacteria or fungi. Symptoms include bone pain, swelling, fever, aches and pains, and headache. The infection may occur at areas near the bone where there was trauma, such as a skin ulcer, surgery, or other injuries. It can start at the bone and spread to surrounding areas, such as the skin, muscles or tendons. Having implanted devices such as a plate, rod or prosthesis can increase the risk of infection.
