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.
12832842 tn?1448728801 t do any strength and flexibility exercises, physio etc then sure it might not make much of a difference if your just looking at it from an end perspective. There is definitely a significant and measurable difference, in how long it takes to reach the same disability status between MSers that do relevant exercise and MSers that don't.
Avatar m tn ve been diligent with my physical therapy and I have full flexibility in the leg. I can bend the leg at the knee and I can fully extend it. I can put weight on the leg and the doctor no longer requires me to wear the surgical boot. I still need to use a cane or crutches to get around. How long does it take for the tibia fracture to fully heal, and is there anything I can do to quicken the healing process on my own other than exercises and physical therapy? Thank you.
Avatar m tn is it normal for the left side of the cervix to be longer than the right side? both sides feel smooth, but just the left side is longer...
Avatar f tn Thanks for replying. I'll check with my doctor's office. I'm scheduled to have 4 rounds of cytoxan and taxotere. Hopefully I'll have a pretty decent time of it!
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 n tn The person is a year and a half through physical therapy and recovery, 150 mg of Lyrica per day, co q10, and a muscle relaxer 2 mg at night. The person is experiencing extreme muscle spasms from waist down, which sometimes respond to Tylenol, 1000mg. The person is able to walk with a device, however, sitting afterwards creates stiffness and inability to continue walking. Is flexibility possible?
Avatar m tn From my own experience, my current PCP, as well as the previous one that I had, are women; not to mention several specialists that I've been to over the years. I've also had a number of male doctors. What's required on the patient's part (which doctors are generally very clear about) is a perceptual boundary between nudity and sexuality.
Avatar n tn Ejection fraction (EF) has a normal range of 55 to 75%, and indicates the percent of blood pumped into circulation with each heartbeat. Grade 1 is a mild condition of diastolic (heart's filling phase) disorder indicating there may be some stiffness of the heart wall inhibiting some of the flexibility needed to enlarge the left ventricle for normal filling capacity.
Avatar f tn 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 n tn Does anyone know of gentle exercises to get my stamina up? I have bad knees, and rheumatoid arthritis in my back so I'm not super flexible. Want to get extra weight off to help improve health...
Avatar m tn Explain your financial difficulties very clearly to your doc at that time, There is a bit of flexibility for the poor in the system, though it is not well known. But you must tell your doctor about it to benefit.
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 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 I have returned to gymnastics after 3 years out and find that I get severe cramp in the arches of my feet. It seems to occur if I point my toes too hard and for long periods of time. My feet don't seem to be as flexible as they used to be as I used to have a much better toe point before. As I have to train in barefeet, I've also noticed that they can get quite cold sometimes. Can anyone help?
Avatar f tn An EF is an estimation of the amount of blood pumped with each stroke. It is not static and will vary from heartbeat to heartbeat just as heartrate and blood pressure, the variations help maintain a balance of blood flow between the left and right side For the EF to increase the heart's output of blood, the left venticle dilates and that causes stronger contractions. The mechanism for the is phenomonon is the Frank/Starling law of physics.

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 n tn 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. Good luck and Best of health PS if you require detailed guidance on building safe exercise strategies, nutrition and a preventative health lifestyle, visit www.personalwellnesswheel.
5160872 tn?1385248794 d be terrified to do it to my fella. Yes, I think the pen will give you a little more comfort and flexibility when it comes to doing it yourself. And some of it just comes with time. But this is a big deal! You're now giving yourself the best chance at things. Take it easy this weekend.
Avatar n tn Hello Everybody, I was wondering what you would suggest I could do to improve the function of my right shoulder. This might help give an idea about what is going on with my shoulder and what I can do about it. 1. When I put my right arm behind my back and then bring my arm to the middle of my upper back, I can barely bring it up. I appreciate greatly any advice or insight, or if there is anything else that I can provide that will help solve the problem.
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?
Avatar f tn One way to work on the dynamic flexibility of the anterior shin is to subject it to exaggerated stress, in a controlled way, such as walking on the heels. If the muscle is regularly subject to an even greater dynamic, eccentric contraction than during the intended exercise, it will become more capable of handling the ordinary amount of stress.
