Avatar m tn There are some assistance programs out there. Many are in your local community and not on the net. You can perform a google search to see if there are any with web sites. Your best luck might be by checking with your doctor or hospital.
Avatar m tn Introduction: Physical therapy, often referred to as physiotherapy, is a healthcare profession focused on optimizing mobility, function, and overall quality of life through various therapeutic techniques and exercises. It plays a crucial role in aiding individuals recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions, preventing disabilities, and enhancing physical performance. The benefits of physical therapy extend beyond mere rehabilitation, encompassing a wide range of health aspects.
Avatar n tn However, as HIV-2 and group O infections are extremely rare in most countries, routine screening programs might not be designed to test for them. Anyone who believes they may have contracted HIV-2, HIV-1 group O or one of the rarer subtypes of group M should seek expert advice.“quote from“http://www.avert.org/hiv-types.htm” and some article shows that there may be false negative result of type O so in case of that,should I test more times using EIA test?

Avatar n tn I am afraid that I have developed osteoarthritis in my hands, esp. in the thumb joint. I experience pain up to 5 on 1/10 scale, but not swelling. After I ride my bike my hands hurt for several days, maybe the handlebar is too big around. The symptoms developed shortly after I broke my wrist (Collies fracture) two years ago. I realize that if I have this problem it isn't going away. How do I keep the damage to a miminim? I use Ibuprofen for pain with fair results.
513154 tn?1340225289 I have a question about Osteoarthritis and the pain that comes with it. Last November I had 5, 6, and 7 upper vertebra fused together and feel so much better in that way BUT i can't take anti inflammatory medications for my Osteoarthritis, Tylenol doesn't even help a bit and non of the arthritis over the counter meds help either. My question is... is there a non narcotic pain medication that I can take every day? I am 45 years old and very healthy besides my arthritis. thank you!

Avatar f tn I have Osteoarthritis and it is getting worse. I taken Celebrex, Norco, Tramadol and Vicopren. None of these are working. I don't have insurance and go to a public health clinic. They don't seem to know what to do. Could you please advise me on what I can take that will help with the chronic pain and will be inexpensive.
Avatar f tn I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?
Avatar m tn i was also wondering about the osteoarthritis as my dr told me that i have severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the lower spine (I forgot the numbers), hips, left shoulder and both feet. I had major surgery last summer and mesh was used to attach part of my bowel to my spine. My dr figures that this may have jump-started the arthritis issues. Currently i have probs walking, bending and overall it hurts to be on my feet for more than 20 mins at a time.
Avatar m tn / I knew my condition was bad b/c of the amount of pain I am in but wasn't expecting that especially @ 32 with a 4 yr old and 7 month old!! Anyways, he adviced pain meds and synvisc-one injections until we couldn't control the pain enough. I tried the injections. I won't lie the are a bit painful. My right one was just uncomfortable. The left one hurt way worse. I have no idea why but it even swelled up and I had to stay off it about 24 hours b/c of all the fluid on it.
Avatar m tn I would say in general terms that loss of peripheral vision be it from glaucoma, stroke, retinal disease like retinitis pigmentosa or other causes is usually not something that can be rehabilitated. There are some new computer programs with vision simulators that try to help patients try to rehabilitate the use of lost peripheral vision mainly from stroke and there has be at least some encouraging, though limited, results with that.
504029 tn?1399559768 In Brazil, the government provides free anti-retroviral medications to anyone who is HIV+, and their prevention programs are much better than ours. All this started back in the 1990s when they realized that they were facing a looming epidemic on the horizon that threatened to make Brazil like sub-Saharan African when it came to HIV. So they started a massive public education, prevention, and treatment campaign that continues today.

Avatar f tn I have suffered with migraine's and osteoarthritis of my neck for years. I saw a headache specialist for this on a regular basis. If I developed a migraine that lasted for more then a week I would see the Dr., who would prescribe a 'burst' to zap the headache. We always found that my headaches would respond to Methergine. I finally decided that because my headaches were under control and the triggers were identified ( inflammation and strain from neck ), I could turn my med.

Avatar f tn NO, you can not lose 25 pounds in 2 wks. You can harm your health and possibly your life. To attempt it would impact your heart, liver, kidneys, etc. Try a weight loss jump start plan. They usually have eating plans, cardio work and strength training/sculpting. They involve nutritionists, certified trainers and doctors; safe and effective in the least amount of time. You may not need to lose weight so much as tighten, tone and sculpt.

199177 tn?1490498534 I have gone threw many different anti virus programs over the years .I have to say the one I have now has worked really well for me and its free .I clicked on a site today and it picked up a virus RIGHT AWAY . It is AVG 7.5 .If anyone else knows of good virus protection that would be a GREAT thing to share .We have lost two computers to viruses over then years. It was so upsetting . So seen as I found something that seems to be working well I thought I would share.
2021910 tn?1339896686 Oh my gosh I've been wondering the SAME thing but for Washington. Although last time I called 411 about housing in my area they told me that basically nobody is helping with housing due to budget cuts :'( and the ones that are have a waiting list at least a year long. But thats just for my state I'm not sure about yours. Try calling your local 411 or 211 and asking about housing. Or look it up in the phonebook.
974403 tn?1291663376 Many people follow the 10,000 steps a day programs as I do. I also use several other trackers that you currently have available. I just think it would be a great idea to also track the number of steps your clients take each day. Once again, thanks for listening and perhaps I'll see a "Steps Tracker" in the future.
Avatar m tn Hi all! I had a heart attack and was diagnosed with diabetes almost a year ago that turned my life upside down. Since the attack and quadruple bypass surgery I've lost my house, car, and can no longer do the work I've been doing for the last 30years b/c of the physical requirements. I've applied for and been denied Disability and don't know where to turn. My challenge now is being able to the afford my medicine needed every month of about $150.
