Would he have learned anything in prison, something like rehabilitation? Probably not, but at least he would have been incarcerated and not able to be involved with this. Where do situations like this leave us? This kid didn't learn anything from his first scrape with the law. Chances are, this won't be his last either. He'll do some time for this, but when he gets out his gang will give him "props" and he will have garnered more respect from his fellow gang members.

Great question Cindy. Phantom limb pain is very common among patients following limb loss. Is it not exactly clear what causes phantom limb pain and there are multiple theories behind the phenomenon. First, we should define what phantom limb pain is....Phantom limb pain is pain that patients perceive as coming from an amputated limb as if it were still part of their body. It is usually perceived as occurring in the distal (or farthest from the center of your body) part of the phantom limb.

Treatment of stroke depends on whether the stroke is ischemic or hemorrhagic and on the underlying cause of the condition.

If it is a ischaemic infarct, anti platelet drugs, anti coagulants and thrombolytics are employed in the treatment. If it is hemorrhagic infarct the hematoma needs to be evacuated with surgery.

It may be 1. a degree of subluxation (separation) of the shoulder. 2. some degree of spasticity. 3. central (thalamic) pain syndrome 4. an injury In order to get the correct diagnosis & treatment,, I would suggest discussing this with your rehabilitation medicine specialist &/or your physiotherapist or occupational therapist.
