To assess efficacy of an interdisciplinary pain program adapted for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and chronic pain. ⋯ Participation in an interdisciplinary pain program does not reduce pain severity, but it can help persons with SCI and chronic neuropathic pain cope with pain, lessen interference of pain, and improve their sense of control.

While on our general inpatient rehabilitation floor, a 58-year-old man with no hematologic or dermatologic history developed an erythematous patch on his medial ankle that turned more purpuric, with a slight orange tint, and was associated with mild pruritus. The diagnosis of exercise-induced vasculitis was made after initially being mistaken for cellulitis. This common exanthem is often misdiagnosed. Due to its association with exercise, the physiatrist should be aware of its presence in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
