hello .
I'm a 28 years old male from Israel .
my height is 1.55 m
I recently eared there's an orthopedic operation that extend the lower limbs so the final outcome of this operation translates into height gain .
I wish to get some information regarding this procedure , principles . how it's done , recorevirng period , side effects , optional hazards and complications , average height gained and costs at a private clinic .
thanks .
The various causes of leg pain are atherosclerosis, deep vein thrombosis - leg pain on walking (A blood clot in a deep vein), Leriche syndrome (block in abdominal aorta and/or main leg artery), limb ischaemia (low oxygen to limbs), sciatica, spondylitis of lower vertebrae and peripheral vascular disease (arteries of limbs are involved). Doppler tests will rule out the possibility of involvement of an artery or vein. An angiogram too can be done.
Hi,
I apologize for the length of this post.
A summary of my tests: I went in for a physical and my EKG was abnormal. I then had an echo done and it was discovered that I had mitral valve prolapse, but normal blood flow. A stress test was ordered (abnormal) and then a nuclear stress was ordered (also abnormal) and there was evidence of a "mild to moderate" blockage. My doctor recommended that I have an angiogram done.
Here's what I'm struggling with.
Hot flashes coming on and off generally in one limb like in your leg is generally a sign of deep vein thrombosis. A color doppler or an angiogram is able to diagnose the condition. Smoking is a complete no for this condition and caffeine should be reduced to minimum. You need to consult a vascular doctor for this. Most of these thrombii disappear with blood thinners given under medical supervision to prevent internal bleeding.
Hope this helps.
A faster heartbeat does not provide enough time to fill as at rest, and the timing of contractions are less. The percent of blood pumped with each heartbeat is less reducing stroke volume (lower EF). The heart rate has increased to provide the necessary blood/oxygen to meet the system's demand for the diminished stroke volume.
The CT scan indicates there is substanital soft plaque buildup within the linings of the vessels.
Usually it starts with one arm, then the lower limb of the same side, then opposite lower limb and finally the remaining upper limb.
Usually it only one cause behind many symptoms. The lower limb symptoms in your case need to be explained, if they are not due to the cervical disc bulging.
What does the lumbar spine MRI say?
I was given adenosine to lower my heart rate. In the days to follow I was given an Angiogram to rule out Heart attack or blockages. That test was normal. Then I see an Electrocardiologist and within a month I had my EP Study and Ablation. I still suffer from shortness of breath from time to time and palps.......but no more SVT ATTACKS SO FAR!!!
i want to discuss a case
a boy age 10 y history is of 7 days back
pain in bilatral calf muscles leadin to wekness of both lower limb plus upper limb wkness wid unable to grip objects n proximal muscles weeknes of uper limb....power in both uper n lower limbs r 3/5, 3 + u can say...reflexes in upper limbs r normal n in lower limb hyper when reinforcement is done...gait is atexic...romberg sign positive wid eyes open n eyes close....tone is normal...coordination is poor ...no nastagmus...
Your orofacial and dental symptoms may very well be associated with TMJs or masticatory muscle dysfunction. However, lower limb symptoms may be more related to spine or lower limb issues. Although it's reported that tmjs or craniocervical dysfunction may cause pelvis or lower limb problems, it's difficult to substantiate clinically.Multidisiplinary management is probably most beneficial to your well beings.
Hi there. The lower limb symptoms are most likely a result of the unfused vertebrae in the lower back. These could be compressing the nerve roots exiting from the respective vertebrae. You should also see an MRI neck to check any cervical disc prolapsed or degeneration, or unfused vertebrae since you are also getting to have upper limb symptoms. Your appointment with the neurologist would allay your anxiety. Take care.
Myotomes are decreased over c7on l to a grade 3+ and over L5 to a grade 3 on the left. decreased sensation throughout the whole of the left lower and upper limb decreased proprioceprion over lower limbs below knee,lower limb reflexes display hyperflexia, questionably displays some signs of clonus on left side.
ve said before, all procedures carry some element of risk but some are obviously much lower than others. Angiograms are about the lowest you can get, but by law you have to be warned you could end up with a stroke or other organ damage if some plaque is knocked out of place. There is also the risk that the coronary artery being viewed can suddenly close up when 'tickled' by the catheter, but this is very rare indeed.
The link to ANGIOGRAM at the bottom of your post gives a doctor's information about an angiogram with a cath (intervention) that is threaded through a vessel to your heart. Takes about an hour and a surgical doctor will be on standby in the event there is a puncture, etc. My complaint is an interventional cardiologists is inclined to implant stents during the procedure.
You will also be given a few pills before the procedure, to thin your blood and lower the risk of clotting. In the UK we are given around 600mg of Plavix, That's 8x75mg pills, but some countries give 300mg. If you have any questions about the procedure, please ask, we have lots of experience to share. I promise you, nothing hurts and it is over before you know it.
8 years ago he had his first angiogram d/t tightening in the throat symptoms upon exersion. His angiogram at that time showed a very small occlusion in the lower aspect of the heart- resulting in the stable angina.
The lastest angiogram also revealed "new arteries" had formed and have compensated for the blockage somewhat. My question is : with 100% blockage and reduced blood flow as stated in the report from the angiogram should a stent not be looked at?
Few months went by, just taking painkillers, then I started experiencing tingling.numbness down my right thigh. I ws advised to have an x ray of my lower back as GP thought it could be related, ie a nerve compression or something.
X ray normal. mystery continued!
Had blood tested and was B12 deficient so now take supplements. numbness in leg has improved immensley, however I get numb arms during the night and the feeling takes ages to come back and it wakes me up. not sure what this is.
To follow up and close out - my throacic surgeon followed up with the doctors doing the angiogram and made it clear that he only wanted the angiogram done. (I might mention that my thoracic surgeon is one of the top in the world.) And, as the angiogram turned out, I have absolutely no blockage at all - zip, nil, none. (This to the absolute disgust of my wife who nags at me incessantly for putting so much butter on pancakes or 1/2 and 1/2 on my cereal.
