A variety of aches, pains and musculoskeletal ailments and injuries seen in increasing frequency in the active baby boomer population. These include tendinitis, bursitis, arthritis and "fix-me-itis". Although the term was initially used to describe problems in the baby boomer generation, it is also seen in both older and younger individuals. This term, coined by orthopaedic surgeon Nicholas A. DiNubile, M.D. has recieved national media attention and is used in an educational campaign by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
