Abstract
|
|
|
Diabetes mellitus is a common disorder and presents in different ways. Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint, especially in middle-aged or older-aged men. While it is widely accepted that diabetics have an increased propensity to develop infections, a diagnosis of osteomyelitis of the humerus as the etiology of constant shoulder pain might be delayed, as occurred in this case study, until patients¡¯ develop clear signs of infection. Here, we describe a case of subacute osteomyelitis as the first physical symptom of diabetes; the possibility of osteomyelitis should therefore be investigated in all patients with diabetes mellitus who develop joint or bone-related pain.
