Discuss the physical exam characteristics of acute bacterial prostatitis - warm, tense, swollen, boggy, tender

define chronic pain - pain > 3 months, generalized pain symptoms, no change with rest, continuous pain,
and intensity changes with current mood
Identify the number of joints involved in poly articular disorder - 4 or more
Describe the four cardinal signs of inflammation - 1. redness
2. swelling
3. pain
4. warmth
differentiate between Dequervain's Tenosynovitis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Dequervain's
