Please let me know is this is a serious problem, can this lead to arthritis or is this the start of the arthritis. Is there any permanenet treament to get rid of this and can this be permanently cured. I am very much worried about the problem, please help me on this. thanks.

Hi! Yesterday, I went to see my dentist for tooth extraction and currently taking antibiotics and mefenamic acid for 7 days. Next week, on Wednesday, I'm going to undergo blood testing, urinalysis and fecalysis. Question, is it okay to undergo these procedures even though I'm taking medicines? I'm so busy and Wednesday is the only day I'm available. Plus, clinics are closed on Christmas holiday. Please help me. Thanks!

Medicines do alter the routine blood analysis results. But if your dentist has asked for it, then it might have been for some specific reason. just inform the laboratory that you are on antibiotics to prevent any wrong interpretation. Dental Extractions will not much time. I am sure you can spare a few minutes for it. ...

can you masterbate after spine surgery

Hi, Yes if you had only laminectomy then it might have been possible for you to go a little earlier(around 2 weeks) to your usual activities but when you have spine fusion to then you actually have to wait a little longer (around 6-8 weeks ) is the average resting resting period. Infact only to realize that your back pain has reduced, it will take around 3-4 weeks. If you had the same pain, that is enough a message for you that it is not the right time to come back to your routine. It also dep ...

Hello, I had slipped disc surgery in the month of September. Before surgery I had sciatica pain in right buttock (acute pain) but after surgery I sometimes feel mild pain in left buttock. After a few months I noticed when I get up in the morning my back/ spineis a little tilted towards left side but once I do some back strecthing exercises the back/spine becomes straight. Please advise

this could be Sacro Iliac (SI Joint Pain) - the gluteus muscles weakens gradually after any lower back surgery. you need to follow some stretching and strengthening exercises for Gluetus (Buttocks)Muscle. especially focus on gluteus medium, predominantly weakens amongst the 3 gluteus muscles. follow the exercise before going to bed and after waking up. ice application can reduce the stiff ness and localised pain associated with SI Joint ...

Hi, Most common cause of small height is inherited from parents,but since your parents have a good height i would recommend you to get your hormonal tests like growth hormone or consult an endocrinologist because they might be really helpful to you,since your height is to small as compared to your parents. The problem can also be related to your spine but spine can never make such a big difference to your height. The tablet you are taking is fine and can be taken for a few months,you should avo ...
