contractions

Avatar f tn This is a type of tremor that occurs only with specific actions, such as writing. This may be a component of task-specific dystonia, what is termed in the medical literature writer's cramp. This is due to involuntary contraction of specific muscles during actions such as writing.
Avatar n tn Performing the same task in the same position will repeatedly trigger the tremor/dystonia after a certain amount of time, but performing the same task in a slightly different position would not. This in your case would be called writing tremor, and your condition would be called primary writing tremor. Some regard these task specific movements tremors or dystonias depending on the exact nature of the movement.
8526246 tn?1405601876 Close to closing time and I see most of the staff taking off. I have one nurse telling me in next but yet I see every other patient coming and going. And this isn't the first time they do it. Last time they forgot me in the waiting room for more time!
Avatar f tn Yes, I will do that..in terms of my infertility though, does a diagnosis of pcos change the course of action the Dr. will take to help me? Have you had children with pcos? If so, did you get pregnant on your own?
Avatar m tn However, I understand this site is only about helping people and making them feel comfortable. Both of the gentlemen that I heavy disagreements with, were only doing what they thought was right and they were trying to help the posters. To the moderators, the managers, and to the original posters, I am sorry. Regardless of what I am going through, and regardless of my feelings towards those who belittle people when there is disagreement, it was wrong for me to lash out in that way.
Avatar m tn 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.

1123420 tn?1350561158 I was afraid of labor too but not the pain. I was afraid of tearing and the recovery afterwards. Well, I was induced and everything was going great until the epidural. I did have one put in but it did not work at all which I didn't even know was possible until that day when the anesthesiologist reviewed the possible outcomes. And even then I figured it wouldn't happen to me lol. So there I was with drug-induced contractions and no epidural.
Avatar f tn I would possibly suggest giving a more formal or grown-up middle name, in case little Lexee or Taytum wants to be president of a bank or a judge or President when she grows up. She might want to use her more formal name for a more formal career.
Avatar f tn Wow, thats some story, but@ least you finally got some help. You story sounds so familiar-Legit pain issues that an MD keeps throwing scripts at, which leads eventually to an increasing tolerance, then finally out-of-control addiction.
Avatar f tn Ftm. 39 weeks today. Gave in and started taking evening primrose oil yesterday. 2000mg orally in the AM, 1000mg orally with dinner & inserted 1000mg vaginally before bed. I had 2 contractions within a couple of hours, nothing that progressed though. Has anyone else gotten contractions after taking EPO vaginally? I know its just supposed to ripen the cervix, but found the timing odd.

Avatar m tn The most common site of entrapment is at or near the elbow region, especially in either the region of the cubital tunnel, also known as the ulnar groove. The second most likely location of entrapment is at or near the wrist, especially in the area of the anatomic structure called Guyon's canal. However, entrapment can occur in the forearm between these 2 regions, below the wrist within the hand, or above the elbow.
Avatar f tn The first step in treatment is altering the grip of the pen and increasing the pen diameter. You can use a writing device or other trasnscription means like typing and dictation. Drugs like anticholinergics, beta blockers and neurotoxins etc. Take care.

498385 tn?1362449404 I don't think I have any words of wisdom, but I did a lot of apologizing this year, lol. Even though I didn't do the steps I feel like I have made ammends with those I harmed, mostly my family. I just wanted to ask how step 8 works. Do you go to all the people you hurt with your addiction and apologize, sorry just not sure what you have to do?
Avatar f tn ve aged a lot in a short amount of time, my body. I still get the occational sharp pains in that breast. And I wonder where this lump is going when it's getting smaller & & &.. I think rest seems to be my only best friend, if I get enough of it I do a lot better. I haven't taken any meds for this lump, I refused medication........ but what really gets to me is this TIREDNESS, my energy levels, my body feels unhealthy, I feel incapable... I don't feel like me.
Avatar n tn Well it won't be anything bad even IF it was a real contraction because you would've had another one by now....your fine don't worry! And around 25 weeks I had to go into L&D because I was having contractions one after the other and bleeding.

973741 tn?1342342773 re a sedentary person who basically only moves when you formally exercise, I will repeat, long-term studies that have been going on for decades of actual living humans in various communities around the world do not find formal exercise to be important to long life or healthy life.
