This medical illustration presents a graphical simulation of referred pain patterns associated with the gluteus medius muscle in a female subject. The image consists of two primary components: anatomical body maps (anterior and posterior views) and a detailed perineal diagram. On the body maps, referred pain is indicated by red shaded regions and 'x' markers. Posteriorly, the pain is concentrated over the gluteal region, extending superiorly to the iliac crest and inferiorly along the posterior and lateral thigh. Anteriorly, pain zones are mapped to the inguinal area, the lateral hip (greater trochanter region), and the anterior-medial knee. A detailed anatomical diagram of the vulva on the right includes an 'x' mark superior to the vaginal orifice, specifically localized near the clitoris and labia minora, highlighting the clinical relevance of myofascial trigger points in the pelvic and gluteal muscles to referred urogenital and lower extremity pain. This resource is intended for physical therapy and musculoskeletal educational indexing.

This medical illustration is a graphical simulation of myofascial referred pain patterns associated with the adductor magnus muscle, presented on a female body schematic in anterior and posterior views. The diagram uses red color mapping to indicate pain distribution and frequency. In the anterior view, primary referred pain is depicted as intense, vertical red bands along the bilateral medial thighs, extending from the groin to the superior aspect of the knees. Faint red patches and 'X' markers on the lateral and superior thighs indicate areas of less frequent or secondary referred pain. In the posterior view, the simulation identifies a significant referred pain area on the superior-medial aspect of the right calf. The color intensity serves as a semi-quantitative scale, where more vibrant red highlights common clinical trigger point referral zones. This educational visual is designed for physical therapy, anatomy education, and clinical diagnostic training related to musculoskeletal pain syndromes and pelvic floor dysfunction.

This medical illustration presents a graphical simulation of referred pain patterns associated with the coccygeus muscle in a female anatomical model. The visual includes three components: a full-body anterior view, a full-body posterior view, and a localized perineal diagram. Referred pain zones are indicated by red shading and 'X' markers, with color intensity reflecting the frequency of pain reported in clinical studies. On the anterior view, pain is primarily localized to the pubic and lower hypogastric regions. The posterior view demonstrates significant referred pain across the sacral region, gluteal area (buttocks), and extending toward the upper posterior thighs. The detailed perineal diagram shows pain distribution along the midline from the vulva to the anus, with additional lateral involvement near the ischial tuberosities. This educational material is designed for pelvic health education, illustrating how coccygeus muscle dysfunction can manifest as somatic pain in the urogenital and pelvic floor regions.
| Section | Organs included | Where pain is felt |
|---|---|---|
| Foregut | Stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas | Upper abdomen (epigastrium) |
| Midgut | Small intestine, appendix, first half of large intestine | Around the belly button (periumbilical) |
| Hindgut | Second half of large intestine, rectum | Lower abdomen (suprapubic) |
Midgut organs (appendix, small bowel, part of the colon) can't send a "GPS signal" to your brain. Instead, all pain from these organs is sent to the belly button region because of shared nerve pathways from their embryological origin.
