Patient should be allowed good food. Fresh air is also important. In muscular rheumatism the muscles most frequently affected are those of the back (lumbago), side of neck (stiff neck or wry neck), and side of chest (pleurodynia). Exposure to cold, sudden cooling of the body especially after active exercise, and sitting in a draft of air are the chief causes, or exciting causes. As a rule there are no symptoms other than the stiffness and pain on motion. The muscles may be slightly swollen, and... very sensi- tive. Sometimes the attacks come on suddenly and apparently with- out cause, or following a slight twist or strain, as a " kink in the back, " or patient may wake up in the morning with a stiff neck.
