Medical notes from the Polk County Medical Society explain that many pains labeled neuritis are actually neuralgia or result from non nerve causes. Sciatic pain, chest or neck discomfort, and spinal joint arthritis are common misattributions. A physician should determine the true cause after examination.

Resolutions Deemed Silly by Loyola Psychiatrist
Dr. Francis J. Gerty, Loyola University psychiatry professor, calls New Year’s resolutions childish and exhibitionist. He says they rarely work, stressing that addressing underlying causes is better. He urges adults and especially children to avoid overstraining and to do their best continuously rather than a single superhuman effort.
