Avatar n tn htm To me, the basic difference is variability and flexibility. With Lantus, you know exactly what you are dosing, and you also dose exactly the amount of fast acting you need. With 70/30 there is a lot extra to take into account. I personally don't know many, if any, people who are still using mixed insulin, except in poorer countries where they can't get anything else.
Avatar n tn Talk to your doctor for the meaning of these results, obviously. But the first sentence talks about gadolinium enhancement which is a diagnostic test and cine imaging is a type of imaging. In my interpretation of that first sentence, they see an area in one test that corresponds to imaging of lack of wall movement or flexibility (akinesia). This is on the inferior and inferoseptal wall of your heart and remember the heart is a muscle.
293157 tn?1285873439 I am finally working full-time again, with flexibility around my start and stop times and permission to make up any time from home. So with that flexibility I do manage to get through a 6 hour day at the office. I am usually depleted by the time I leave the office. If I had to work 5x8 hour days in the office, week after week, and I'm not sure I could do it without medication. I think the choice would be medication or part-time.
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 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 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 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!
Avatar f tn I have gained a good bit of weight over the last few years. (about 60 pounds) I am 32yrs old 5'10 and over the last 6 to 8 months have been favoring my left side of my body. Meaning I can't help but lean on that side alot of the time. My left arm, leg, and breast is noticably larger than the right and I get a twitch in my left eye sometimes. I am animic as I most recently found out and have to take iron everyday.

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 i lived all my life in the Philippines and i never heard or seen such a word.
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.
