Avatar m tn It is unclear exactly what causes Peyronie’s Disease. In severe cases, the hardened plaque reduces flexibility, causing pain and forcing the penis to bend or arc during erection. In many cases, the pain decreases over time, but the bend in the penis may remain a problem, making sexual intercourse difficult. The sexual problems that result can disrupt a couple's physical and emotional relationship and lead to lowered self-esteem in the man.
Avatar m tn Lack of exercise is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Is it because no exercise can increase cholesterol or is there some other reason.???
Avatar m tn Hello 50_50_50 and welcome to the back forum. Let me tell you flat out that with your cluster of symptoms, it would be wise to seek medical attention and have a complete physical. These symptoms suggest all kinds of disease, however, I'm worried about possible kidney disease. Please have your bloodwork, with a complete set of electrolytes, evaluated soon.
7002065 tn?1443073614 After treatment my state continued to get worse and i lost huge parts of my mind and abilities like critical thinking, emotional perception and flexibility are lacking completely. the point is, the IFN is altering the microglia and lets it change its state. I want to try a drug called PLX3397 which is in phase III trials for PVNS neoplasms at the moment, that blocks a specific receptor called CSF - 1R that is crucial for the survival of microglia in the CNS.
562634 tn?1216180532 My left leg feels weak and consequently, I also have weakness in my right leg I have no strength in my left arm and I cannot grip with my left hand. The fingers on my left hand are curling in a sort of claw shape and there’s little flexibility, or grip. Also my left arm pulsates and twitches and my right arm has started doing that also. Recently my upper legs, just above the knee, are twitching as well and I have also felt twitches on my buttocks and shoulders.
Avatar m tn I have flexibility issues in almost all of my joints (Knees, elbow, wrist, ankle). Coincidentally, all the joints in the right side of my body are worse. I cannot squat as the back of my feet cannot touch my butt, my hand cannot touch my shoulder, cannot do pushup as wrist will hurt a lot. I have done xrays but doctor said my xrays are fine. Went through physiotherapy but joints flexibility does not improve no matter how much i stretched.
Avatar m tn Usually the main predictors of aortic dissection are family history, aortic size, and aortic flexibility. For someone of your aortic size, I would take it easy. Try the ARB approach with a max or ultra-max high dosage (as long as your doctor lets you) and see if that reduces aortic size and aortic flexibility (the "pulse pressure" is one way to estimate the flexibility - Google it). If so, then perhaps you can talk to your doctor about athletics.
Avatar f tn Exercise can help ease the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Aerobic exercise is especially beneficial. According to National Jewish Health, people with COPD will sometimes cut down on physical activities because they worry about becoming short of breath. However, regular exercise can help someone with this condition breathe better and feel better. Before you start an exercise program, be sure to check with your doctor, who may recommend you use oxygen when you exercise.
Avatar m tn If there is reduction of chamber capacity it is often the result of heart wall thickened so it can not relax and have the flexibility to fill to adequately fill. Sometimes the heart wall may thickened by an athlete's regimen and that will return to normal size when the exercise is reduced accoringly, but a wall thickened by heart muscle disease may not return to normal size. If and when it becomes a serious problem there is surgery that removes the excessive mass.
Avatar f tn Stretching isn't the best way to improve flexibility—lifting weights through a full range of motion is, according to a recent study at the University of North Dakota. Pausing for 2 to 3 seconds at the "down" position of the lift (where you feel the stretch) without relaxing your muscles is even more effective.
Avatar m tn If the heart has pathologically enlarged with heart muscle disease, the heart walls thicken and loses its flexibility. Sometimes ablation (surgically remove growth) is performed. The enlargement can be due to valve stenosis, mitral valve regurgitation, tortuous aorta, etc. Minimal enlargement can indicate an athlete's heart where the left ventricle is enlarged and a normal consequence of a healthy efficient heart ( resting heart rate below 60 bpm).
700000 tn?1231287536 t lose any strength in the arm but did lose ALOT of flexibility. I still was able to go on to play college Division 1A football as a defensive end for another 5 years. The only problem I have is that it is kind of a bummer in that without the flexibility in my wrist, some of my basketball and martial arts activities that I participate in currently are limited. I still live a normal life as an engineer and go to the gym 5 - 6 times per week and never feel any pain except on REALLY cold days.
Avatar n tn I have fibro, also cervical stenosis, degenerative disc disease, bulging discs. If I lay down my arms and legs get tight and numb and I start rocking back and forth it is so uncomfortable. Also if I sit and watch tv. From what I understand, a lot of Fibro patients have these disk problems. Can anyone relate. I also get chills with no fever.
Avatar m tn Bye the why the condition does not leave any noticeable neurological repercussions and the episodes last for approximately 2-3 hours when he is in this state after that he is totally fine and functioning in a normal state. His neurological ghant and flexibility is normal also. He has been struck by lightning approximately 12 years ago and had been diagnosed with PTSD that occurred during his military service of 13 years and he has also been diagnosed with depression.
Avatar m tn I then had another emg which revealed mild peripheral nerve hyper flexibility. Nothing has been done about this as he believes there is no underlying neurological illness. Within the last 5 months i have also become breathless and short of breath with difficulty clearing throat and swallowing saliva. I know there is something wrong with me and that i have an illness. Any suggestions would be great.
Avatar m tn I am very active and cycle about 5 hours a week and about 5 hours a week of more weight bearing exercise. I have not been able to regain full flexibility to the knee, I am lacking 10 degrees of motion. I ice my knee most every day after exercising. I completed a series of 3 shots of Euflexxa about 6 weeks ago and have felt no difference from that. I started physical therapy twice a week for the last three weeks which lasts about 1.
Avatar m tn If you can understand that with increasing age the flexibility decreases and you can regain that with much practice and concentration. You need to strengthen your feet with proper exercise and control over a period of time, we are sure you can do better than what you are doing now and under a good trainer. Take care!
786879 tn?1236881905 The liver (even with Hep C) is tough,so dont be afraid of medicines which say not to be used with liver disease. Virtually all medicines have a liver disease warning which,within reason,you need not take too literally.

Avatar n tn I have a bulging L5 - S1 that has been causing problems for just over a year now. I've had 4 epidurals, and have been taking pain pills daily. About 6 month ago I started getting really bad upper back spasms, I had an MRI, CT Scan, and Ultra Sound that all came back clear. I got another epidural about a month ago and the back spasms went away (they are starting to come back as the epidural is wearing off).
Avatar m tn //www.healthymale.org.au/mens-health/peyronies-disease). I know searching the internet isn't always a good thing, however, when reading through that link, the following does indeed sound like what I am experiencing: START QUOTE What are the symptoms of Peyronie’s disease? Peyronie’s disease begins as a small swelling or inflammation, which hardens into a lump on the upper or lower side of the penis. It usually develops over time, but sometimes appears very quickly.
Avatar m tn I can provide information regarding the dynamics of DD from a perspective that is generally recognized as the underlying cause. If the left ventricle walls of the heart are enlarged that almost always cause the walls to be rigid and unable to relax sufficiently to expand during the filling phase of the heart cycle. Also, the chamber size may be reduced as well. The result is less blood available to be pumped into circulation with each heartbeat.
Avatar n tn But also, as we age our flexibility diminishes. So flexibility should be focused on as well. Youre target heart range after you have been cleared is (220-your age) x .85 You are not too old to increase your strength, flexibility endurance or efficiency. In fact, since you are so out of shape-it will be more likely that you will have a steep curve of improvement with some concerted effort.
