Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are  medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed(1).

      Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder

1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia

                                                      Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia, according to the American College of Rheumatology 1990 Criteria for the Classification of Fibromyalgia in the newly proposed criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia are 1) widespread pain in combination with 2) tenderness at 11 or more of the 18 specific tender point sites(a) as a result in responding to pressure.

The Antioxidants

Free radicals are atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired electrons through chemical bonds with other atoms or molecules during a chemical reaction. They may have positive, negative or zero charge.

Free Radicals play an important role in the function of the Immune System. The immune system produces free radicals to kill foreign microbes(152)(153), but the production of free radical sometime can be excessive, leading to formation of a large number of free radicals(154)(155). The domino effects have shown to induce many chronic illness, such as cancers(155).
Furthermore, free radicals also displays over expression of oxidative stress, inducing varies form of chronic illness including metabolic syndrome(156).

           The  Anti inflammatory Antioxidants

Anti inflammatory Antioxidants play an critical role in induction of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of a number of disorders inflammation, Fibromyalgia , rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, psoriasis and contact dermatitis(176),

4. Coenzyme Q10
CoQ10 treatment restored mitochondrial dysfunction and the mtDNA copy number, decreased oxidative stress, and increased mitochondrial biogenesis. The results suggest that CoQ10 could be an alternative therapeutic approach for FM(189). According to the University of SevillaSevilla, CoQ10 inhibited depressive symptoms in fibromyalgia through regulation of serotonin levels(190).
Oral supplementation showed an improvement in clinical symptoms and restored salivary cells (SCs) and mononuclear blood cells (BMCs) levels, in a study of 10 patients with intaking of supplemented daily with 300 mg of CoQ(10) during 3 months(191).
Dr. Alcocer-Gómez E and colleagues at the University of Seville said, " After treatment, all patients showed an important improvement in clinical symptoms in all evaluation methods. According to our results, and evaluated by three methods, patients with FM are candidates for treatment with CoQ10"(192).
