[edit] 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)
