Introduction
Indefinite term applied to diseases with pain or other symptoms of articular origin or related to other elements of the musculoskeletal system. A related or similar term in use is connective tissue disorder. An alternative definition is autoinflammatory disease as many if not all rheumatologic diseases are associated with inflammation not due to infection or other exogenous etiology.
Disorders resulting from trauma or surgical interventions are generally considered orthopedic disorders.

Differential diagnosis
Management
- instruments such as the Disease Activity Score or the Health Assessment Questionnaire are used for
- assessment of disease activity & progression
- overall functional assessment[2]
- non-pharmacologic measures
- physical therapy
- occupational therapy
- surgery
- weight reduction
- psychosocial support
- self-management programs[2]
- statins of questionable value
- raw data suggests harm
- massaged data suggests benefit[10]
- long-term glucocorticoids <= 5 mg/day of prednisone do not seem to adversely affect bone mineral density[13]
