It might be easier to find more details on trigger points from a book. But I found this website, http://www.trigger-point-injections.com/index.htm I think it will help you a lot. I personally have a book on trigger points and found it to be very informative. Check your local library. The website has information on where the trigger points are and where the pain radiates to. I hope this helps.

That is usually the tendons that pop and ususlly means nothing. As long as you aren't putting the knees through a lot of repettitive motions which can, over time, cause problems with the knees. Yoga, pilates and those exercises are less stressful on the joints. Usually if there is no pain you don't need to worry. It's normal. If you start to feel pain, stop and see the Dr. Good luck.

Yes, you are totally correct. We, as humans were not made to sit all day at a desk. Get up frequently, and take a short walk to the water cooler, and use a bathroom further away so you stretch out some. Take a walk outside at lunch, this will also help. Also, if you use a computer, raise the monitor so you are looking straight at it and not looking down at it. When you look down, you put a lot of excess stress on your neck and shoulders and will lead to knots in your back.

Weather affects air pressure.  This affects man.  Some are sensitive to the change in air pressure and can result in headache and knee pain and more.

There are 32 major pressure points on the human body that can cause either immobility from pain, immobility from structural or organic damage, unconcsciousness from nerve or organic damage, or death. They are as follows:\n\n1. Coronal structure: the top of the head toward forehead, known as the soft spot on babies.  it is the space between skull bones covered by membrane that closes in 18 months but the coronal structure is weaker than rest of skull.  beneath that is the sensory portion and optic cavity.\n\n2. Trigeminal nerve and frontal bone: just below centermost point of forehead on the outside of skull so when struck could result in jarring cerebal hemisphere, concussion, unconsciousness, impaired vision, paralysis, and with maximum force death by brain hemmorage.\n\n3. Temple and Fosa Temporalis:  Bonetip of sphenoid recessed part on each side of head horizontal to top of ear.  trigeminal nerve runs through temple and also meningeal artery.\n\n4. Eyes: Sensitive to even the slightest touch.  Held in facia bulbi (soft membrane) and eye muscles.  Easy to pop out.  If a blow reached the vitreous body (center of eye) the eyeball would collapse.\n\n5. Ears:  Air is easily trapped into eardrum causing it to burst.\n\n6. Mastoid: behind earlobes where skull meets neck.\n\n7. Septal Cartilage: this is the nose.\n\n8. Anterior Nasal Spine: Beneath nose above lips.  where two lines run from nose to top lip.  direct hit sends shock to pons causing dizziness.  could also cause damage to maxilla bone holding gums and teeth causing excessive bleeding.\n\n9. Temporomandibular Joint: joint that holds jaw in place.  connects skull in front of ear.\n\n10.  Tip of mandible: jaw bone and very end of chin.  sends shock sensor to cerebellum causing unconsciousness.  (this is the spot that boxers aim for with upper cuts to cause a quick KO)\n\n11. Sternocleidomastoid region: Frontal neck behind ear down clavicle bones beneath that is the jugular vein and cartoid artery which supplies blood to heart and brain.  Very sensitive.\n\n12. Anterior Neck Region: Windpipe or throat, center portion of neck.\n\n13. Brachial PLexus and Trapezius muscle: base of neck to shoulders.\n\n14. Suprasternal notch: Between the collarbones.  Blow could dislodge collarbones from sternum.\n\n15. Clavicle: supports shoulders. a simple break could immobilize, serious break could puncture lungs, heart, aorta, vena cava, and/or trachea.\n\n16. Heart: forceful strike could cause the heart to skip beats and collapse ceasing movement of oxygen around the body causing death.\n\n17. Kidneys: Firm strike generates a lot of pain and internal bleeding could result in death.\n\n18. Shoulder Socket: where the humurus and scaptula meet at ball and socket joint.\n\n19. Elbow: Breaks easily causing extreme pain and immobility.\n\n20. Carpals, Metacarpals, and Phalanges: these are the fingers and parts of the hand connecting fingers to wrist.\n\n21. petalla: Knee cap, also breaks easily causing extreme pain and immobility.\n\n22. Tarsals, Metatarsals: these are the toes and parts of the foot connecting toes to ankle.\n\n23. Thoracic cage: rib cage.  forceful strike or stamp could cause rib cage to collapse and puncture lungs or heart.\n\n24. Floating ribs: these ribs are not connected to the sternum and break fairly easily.  Could pierce liver or spleen resulting in rapid bleeding causing death.\n\n25. Vertebral column: spinal cord.  Strong strike could break vertebrae and could snap spinal cord resulting in full or partial paralysis.\n\n26. Diaphragm: solar plexus at the base of sternum. regulates the intake of oxygen.  damage could result in inability to breathe causing unconsciousness or death.\n\n27. Testes:  male genitalia. even the slightest strike could cause extreme pain, immobility, and maybe unconsciousness.\n\n28. Coccyx: the tailbone.  forceful strike causes extreme pain and immobility.\n\n29. Armpit: strike could cause extreme pain and immobility, but not often accessible

Penherbest this is a long answer. The gosnell scale is base on criterias for rating pressure ulcers. There are 5 criterias. Under each criteria are subcategories that are given points. At the end of the assessment the points are added up. \n\n      1)MENTAL STATUS\n        Alert................1 point\n        Apathetic............2 points\n        Confuse..............3 points\n        Stupor...............4 points\n        Unconscious..........5 points\n\n       2)CONTINENCE\n         Full control.........1 point\n         minimal control......2 points\n         Abscence of control..3 points\n\n        3)MOBILITY\n          Full mobiliy.........1 point\n          Slightly limitted....2 points\n          Very limitted........3 points\n          Immobility...........4 points\n\n        4)ACTIVITY\n          Ambulatory........1 point\n          Walks with help....2 points\n          Chairfast...........3 points\n           Bedfast...........4 points\n\n        5)NUTRITION\n          Regular food intake..1 point\n          Occasionally misses food....2 points\n          Seldomly eats........3 points\n\n5 points or less, person is at LOW risk for pressure ulcers.\n20 points or more person is at HIGH risk for pressure ulcer.

<Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine bodywork technique based on the same ideas as acupuncture. It involves placing physical pressure, by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices, on different pressure points on the surface of the body (which may be far distant from the symptom, related by what is called the meridian system) to bring about relief through greater balance and circulation of energies in the body (qi). It is intended to affect and balance the energetic system of the body in order to treat the human body, mind, emotions, energetic fields, and spirit.\nAn acupressure wristband that is claimed to relieve the symptoms of motion sickness and other forms of nausea is available.\n\nWhile some practitioners believe that first hints of acupressure or reflexology have been found in ancient Indian texts, the first formally recognized mention of qi is in the Chinese writings of the Shang dynasty oracle bones which were produced between the 16th to 11th century B.C.\n\nPossibly the earliest evidence of use of the meridian system for health purposes has been found in Europe, of all places. ִzi the Iceman, a 5,000 year old mummy found preserved in an Alpine glacier, seems to have tattoos on points which correspond to points that a modern acupuncturist or tui na specialist would use to treat symptoms of diseases that ִzi seems to have suffered from, including digestive parasites and degenerative bone disease.\n\nMany East Asian martial arts also make extensive study and use of acupressure for self-defense and health purposes (chin na). The points or combinations of points are said to be used to manipulate or incapacitate an opponent. Also, martial artists regularly massage their own acupressure points in routines to remove blockages from their own meridians, claiming to thereby enhance their circulation and flexibility and keeping the points "soft," or less vulnerable to an attack. Attacking the acupressure points is one theme in the wuxia genre of movies and novels.

its an accupressure therapy for healing. One has to press particular point on palms of hand or feet to get rid of any pain. e.e. if theres a headache then you have to press few points on tip of ur thumb finger. I have read one book few years back, you can get book on this from any well established book center.
