Prader willi syndrome
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder. It causes poor muscle tone, low levels of sex hormones and a constant feeling of hunger. The part of the brain that controls feelings of fullness or hunger does not work properly in people with PWS. They overeat, leading to obesity.Babies with PWS are usually floppy, with poor muscle tone, and have trouble sucking. Boys may have undescended testicles. Later, other signs appear. These includeShort staturePoor motor skillsWeight gain Underdeveloped sex organsMild intellectual and learning disabilitiesThere is no cure for PWS. Growth hormone, exercise, and dietary supervision can help build muscle mass and control weight. Other treatments may include sex hormones and behavior therapy. Most people with PWS will need specialized care and supervision throughout their lives.NIH: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development

Hello Curofians! Please check my case. I have pain in my thumb for 1 month after a minor injury. No wound, no swelling. Little redness is there, as you can see in the images, which should have disappeared by now as the injury was 1 month back. No pain on palpation. Pain occurs with even minor twisting of the thumb and also with percussion in the marked region. Please check the x-ray & clinical images from today. Age - 33 years No comorbidity No pain in other joints as such.
