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 m tn no sense of urgency to urinate or anything else unusual. Our history with our Internist has shown that she is a bit of a catastrophesizer and she said this could be bladder cancer so we need to see a Urologist which we plan to do. But I would think there could be many other, benign causes for this especially given he has no symptoms commensurate with bladder cancer. True?
Avatar n tn m 31, my existing health condition is PCOS and I have a history of hyperthyroidism. I have a family history of type 1 and 2 diabetes and thyroid disorders. I am overweight but exercise regularly, don't smoke or drink. I hope someone could help me because it's hard for me to see a doctor at the moment, thank you.
Avatar f tn The septum (wall separating left and right heart chambers) is normal size and flexibility, but there is an area of the septum that is unresoved whether or not there is ischemia (lack of blood flow usually due to blocked (occluded) vessels). Whether there are serious issues depends on your symptoms, medical history and any other signs that may support a medical problem.
Avatar n tn Also, and enlarged wall can reduce flexibility and contractions to pump blood is reduced. The septum normally has less flexibilty, it is the outer walls that requires more flexibility so that may not be an issue with the septum.
Avatar f tn I have has bloodwork done and my rheumatoid count does not indicate any abnormalities. I do have hyper-flexibility, but not so to the extent that would be particularly demonstrative of a syndrome like EDS. At the areas that recently are over-used or broken, there is often a bruise, most typically at the knees. Muscle tension is also observed, but most likely due to pain than anything else. My pain is chronic and difficult to reduce when my symptoms flare up.

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 n tn I am not an expert on this but acupuncture helps relax muscles and improve the circulation in the area thereby causes flushing of the pain modulators. It improves movement and flexibility. Hope this helps. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.
Avatar m tn i can bend it backward with my other hand to almost 90 degrees without pain; i can't do that with my right hand's little finger nor any finger in both hands. It's probably from the past, i broke my ulnar bone, it's deformed on my wrist in my left hand since 6 years ago. I went to 3 generalists in 1 week, they examined my joints & said nothing unusual; they seemed to focus on my allergy and overlooked my joints problem.
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.
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 m tn I am just being curious here but has any one in recorded history ever gotten HIV from "fingering" or a handjob. It just seems that a lot of us have been exposed to this level. Around the hand most people have little scrapes or loose skin generally due to the norms of life either as part of what we do at work or through normal everyday household chores and thsu the concern for most of us. Would anybody on this forum know or have heard of transmission via these exual activities.

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!
1301089 tn?1290666571 where author Stefanie Syman traces the history of yoga in America. Syman noted the growing popularity of yoga in the U.S. by pointing out that first lady Michelle Obama has added it to the festivities at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on the front lawn. Mohler said many people have written him to say they're simply doing exercises and forgoing yoga's eastern mysticism and meditation.

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 f tn I have a history of severe depression & anxiety, some days I can't even handle talking to people. It isn't so bad most the time, but when it is bad, its scary, so also emotions for me. Especially the irrational crying over silly things like hubby having pretty girl's around him at school or work or facebook.
1435895 tn?1304291241 Geneticist. They review your medical records, administer the b. Scale flexibility test, and you are asked re family history. Everything you said points to EDS Hypermobility. It’s a dominant gene (50% chance your kids will have it).
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.
Avatar f tn Dear Dr, I have recently at the age of 57 yrs, been diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy after a near collapse and a subsequent angiogram which showed that the pressures in my heart were too high. I also have a past history of sarcoidosis and cardiac involvement, over 30 yrs ago, which I thought I had recently recovered from. At the moment I am able to work full time, but get breathless and tight in the chest if I walk too fast or climb stairs. My ECG was normal.
Avatar f tn When I was first diagnosed with diabetes I was on basal-bolus. I had one very serious low. I hated it as there was no flexibility in eating. I then changed to basal-bolus and not only did I have much better control and excellent flexibility, I no longer have any serious lows.
Avatar m tn Working with a chiropractor, I got a hip flexor malady adjusted; the PT said I needed to work on flexibility. My left leg kind of 'hangs/float' and doesn't extend out normally. I feel it even when I'm walking. The odd part is that I can't really self-correct it with mental striving. I'm thinking it's more than just bad flexibility - wondering if I'm not really neurologically talking to my lower leg?
