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),

2. DLPA (dl- phenylalanine)
DLPA, a mixture of D-Phenylalanine and L-Phenylalanine, is a nutritional supplement amino acid. Taltirelin, a thyrotropin-releasing hormone analog, showed effectively to relieve inflammatory persistent pain through iots antiallodynic action(182).
Dr. Bai Y and colleagues at the China Medical University, 4-Chloro-DL-phenylalanine, a derivative of DLPA inhibited metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 in in response to many cytokines and hormones , including inflammatory cytokines in reduced pulmonary vascular remodeling and lunginflammatio(183).
Dr. Ehrenpreis S. in the study of D-phenylalanine and other enkephalinase inhibitors, said, "
D-phenylalanine, is also anti-inflammatory. D-phenylalanine has proven to be beneficial in many human patients with chronic, intractable pain" and "... may alleviate other conditions associated with decreased endorphin levels such as opiate withdrawal symptoms"(184).

           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),
1. Glucosamine and chondroitin
Glucosamine used for treatment of osteoporosis and prevent the degenerative collagen, has been found to consist anti-inflammatory properties through reduction of the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6(177). The supplement also exhibited a significant reduction in pain intensity at movement and resting state, according to a Russian study(178).
Dr. Fishman SM suggested, administration of Glucosamine and chondroitin may be used for management of pain in patients of Fibromyalgia(179). In a total of 71.4% women, and 65.0% with annual incomes of less than 25,000 dollars.researchers at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center indicated a higher percentage use of alternative medicine including oral supplement glucosamine and chondroitin for treatment with with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fibromyalgia(180). Furthermore, the study also showed that use of alternative medicine was significantly associated with female, under 55 years of age, and having some college education(180).
Dr. Parcell S said, " ...sulfur compounds such as SAMe, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), taurine, glucosamine or chondroitin sulfate, and reduced glutathione may also have clinical applications in the treatment of a number of conditions such as depression, fibromyalgia,....."(181).

4. Vitamin E
According to Dr. Moriguchi S and Dr. Muraga M., vitamin E plays an essential role in enhanced immunity especially in cellular immunity with aging(171). Deficiency of vitamin E is found to induces the decreased differentiation of immature T cells associated to the increased infectious diseases and the incidence of tumors(171). According to the Suleyman Demirel University, intake of vitamins C and E (VCE) supplementation with exercise (EX) enhanced antioxidant vitamin and lipid peroxidation (LP) levels in blood of patients with fibromyalgia (FM)in protection of against FM-induced by oxidative stress(172).
Dr. Altindag O and Dr. Celik H. said, " patients with fibromyalgia are exposed to oxidative stress and this increased oxidative stress may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of the disease. Supplementation of antioxidant vitamins such as vitamins C and E to the therapy may be indicated"(173).
In support to the above analysis, Dr. Bagis S and colleagues at the Mersin University Medical School insisted, change of oxidant/antioxidant balances induced increase of free radical levels may be responsible for the development of fibromyalgia(174).
In fact, dietary consumption including vitamin E significantly reduced the levels of inflammation by analyzing the pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the blood serum(175).

3. Vitamin D
Deficiency of vitamin D is found to associate to nonspecific musculoskeletal pain. According to Maccabi Healthcare Services, improvement of levels of 25OHD reduced Polymyalgia pain induced by the use of statins(167). According to the Spine Unit, Center of Excellence for Orthopaedic Pain Management, oral administration of vitamin D reduced remarkably in pain of patient with FM in visual analog scale scores(168).
Dr. Matthana MH said, "Vitamin D deficiency has to be considered in the management of fibromyalgia syndrome" as "Among the 100 fibromyalgia women, there were 61 women with 25(OH) D deficiency; with vitamin D supplementation, only 42 women showed a significant improvement when their blood level of 25(OH) D became>or=30 ng/mL, this improvement became more significant when their blood level of 25(OH) D exceeded 50 ng/ mL"(169).
In support to the above diagnosis, evaluation of Saudi Arabia women, also showed a significant negative correlation between vitamin D level and widespread pain index(170).

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 Phytochemicals

5. Cucurbitacins
Cucurbitacins found in the common pumpkins and gourds has found to process anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity in redued pain through inhibition of the neurogenic (first phase) and inflammatory phase (second phase) of formalin-induced pain(147). The phytochemical also inhibited pain caused by chronic rheumatic disease through anti pro inflammayory cytokine activity(148).
In neuro injure response, cucurbitacins displayed anti nitric oxide, prostaglandins and inflammatory cytokines, activation of complement proteins inducing neuro damage through activation of the neuroprotection of Nrf2/ARE pathway(149).
In chronic inflammatory model, cucurbitacin R, a derivative of Cucurbitacins, reduced over expression of proinflammatory enzymes, through reducetion of all mediators, such as prostaglandin E(2), nitric oxide, and TNF-alpha production in RAW 264.7 macrophages, as well as that for TNF-alpha in human lymphocytes(150).Dr. Yuan G and professors at the Zhejiang University said, "Natural products(including cucurbitacins) play a significant role in human health in relation to the prevention and treatment of inflammatory conditions"(151).

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 Free Radical scavengers

1. Vitamin A
vitamin A plays an essential roles in enhancing a broad range of immune processes, including white blood cells activation and proliferation(157)of T-helper-cell differentiation, the production of specific antibody in regulation of the immune response(158). According to the Suleyman Demirel University, Concentrations of vitamins A were significantly lower in patients with fibromyalgia than in controls, leading to over displayment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the etiology and pathogenesis of fibromyalgia(159).
Furthermore, in the evaluation of a total of 43 patients with FM and 44 healthy women, FM group
showed a mean consumption of nutrients lower than CT group, including vitamin A(160).
Deficiency of concentration may play an important role in exacerbate the over expression of Fibromyalgia but excess amount of vitamin A may also worsen the the symptoms of soft tissue rheumatism(161) Dr. Romano TJ. suggested.

2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbate, a water soluble vitamin with a chemical structure formula of C6H6O6  is best known for it's antioxidant property in strengthening the immune system.Due to recent promotion of western diet in some developed country, deficiencies of micronutrients are emerging as the limiting factors in ensuring children's optimal health, according Bayer Consumer Care Ltd(162). Deficiency of vitamin C and zinc in fact, interfere with normal children's growth and development(162). Researchers found that vitamin C raised the concentration in the blood of total immunoglobulin(163) in promotion of the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear pathogens(164).
Dr. Altindag O and Dr. Celik H. said, " patients with fibromyalgia are exposed to oxidative stress and this increased oxidative stress may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of the disease. Supplementation of antioxidant vitamins such as vitamins C and E to the therapy may be indicated"(165).
According to the University of Kuopio,  vegan diet rich in antioxidants, lactobacilli and fibre, have shown to benefit patient with rheumatoid disorder(166).
