About 3% of persons who are infected with S. flexneri may subsequently develop pains in their joints, irritation of the eyes, and painful urination [ 5, 6].
Background and Objectives: A significant percentage of women undergoing breast surgery for cancer may develop neuropathic pain in the chest, and/or ipsilateral axilla and/or upper medial arm, with impairment in performing daily occupational activities.
Adolescents may develop knee pain after a sudden unexpected traumatic injury or with an insidious slowly developing onset where the adolescent or parent does not know what initiated the pain [ 9].
In about half the cases, symptoms gradually disappear, whereas the other half may develop chronic pain syndrome within the first year post-trauma and require treatment in ambulatory or inpatient health care [ 2- 4].
In addition, WAD patients may develop chronic pain followed by sensitisation of the nervous system [ 8, 9], a lowering of the threshold for different sensory inputs (pressure, cold, warm, vibration and electrical impulses) [ 10].
If a patient's score on the Tampa scale for kinesiophobia (TSK) is over 37 in the post-operative assessment, the physiotherapist will explain to the patient (during the second/third guidance session) how and why some individuals with low back pain may develop a chronic pain syndrome (the fear-avoidance model, [ 40]).
Finally, because one of the characteristics of the DASH-DLV score is, that it does not discriminate between the affected and the non-affected shoulder, one could speculate that patients with chronic shoulder pain may develop strategies to overcome pain and disability caused by their shoulder disorder, for instance by using the non-affected arm, resulting in decreased DASH-DLV and VAS-P scores.
Patients suffering from endometriosis may develop chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility [ 1].
Athletes who participate in these sports may develop anterior knee pain that presents as tenderness at the inferior pole of the patella.
