Avatar n tn Upon visiting a chiropractor and taking xrays, he found that my spine is about two inches out of alignment, causing tremendous stress to my hip and leg. I am now consumed with fear about my future. Does this mean that surgery may have to be considered? Is there a real possibility that I could end up disabled or crippled in my senior years. I feel extremely limited in my physical capabilities (no bending, no lifting), but if my spine gets worse what type of future should I be preparing for?
Avatar n tn Your doctor should have told you what limitations apply. I don't recall as it has been a while, but I have had several tests over the years and can say the only dietary restrictions I recall was during the hour or so I was released to have a light lunch before a final scan. That is to say I able to have a light lunch during the testing period.

Avatar f tn Its not special treatment, its the managers legal obligation to make aure that you and your baby are safe in the workplace. They cant tell you not to go to the bathroom or tjat your not working hard enough coz you dont lift heavy boxes,, that all comes under discrimination. Im 26weeks this tuesday and its hard enough coping with working and being pregs without your boss being hard on you.
Avatar m tn Please if anyone relates share your thoughts. Does anyone feel they've lost thei confidence to be assertive? Like you have no backbone. In situations where I need to say no, or especially express anger, I feel like I'll die if I let it out. I'm constantly walking on glass, making excuses for myself and letting sarcastic slights go that are often directed at my nervousness and lack of being able to function normally because of anxiety.
Avatar f tn The lowest classification is no limitations of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue dyspnea (shortness of breath) or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope (fainting). The next higher classification is class II: Patients with pulmonary hypertension resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. These patients are comfortable at rest, but ordinary physical activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope.
10452875 tn?1436484351 Look into what HR has for workplace accommodation, that might include you needing to sit whenever you need to. If its not something they can accommodate they might be able to release you early for leave. Look into it.
Avatar f tn I just found out that I lost my work today because I cannot stay well in a workplace that has clorox, paint, polyurethane, bacteria, with NO return air. I am in a very specialized field--I teach newly arrived refugees from Burma, Africa, etc. tospeak English. It may be too late, but is there any kind of mask I could get and still teach--I guess, however, that it would have to cover nose, mouth and eyes--maybe I coul wear it half the time. I need/love the work.
Avatar n tn It definitely sounds as though you were in a hostile work environment that caused you a great deal of stress and eventually caused you to have to seek a new position. The fact that your immediate supervisor was involved rather than trying to help you is also deplorable...and wrong. However, the burden of proof in a legal situation is on you. If the new job caused you to take a pay cut, then you certainly could seek damages for the loss of income, not to mention rank.
Avatar n tn m not much help regarding the buzzing in the ears. It could be related to high stress or anxiety, or uncontrolled blood pressure, sinusitis, ear disease like menier's disease, or medication side effects. Make sure your hearing is tested and of course see your primary care doctor to have a whole body physical exam and see an opthalmologist becauese of the eyestrain. I wonder if you might have some problems with your workplace - such as enviromental issues.
506514 tn?1210785523 Hi PeacelsAlllWant, how are you? Can you give some details of the nature of job you are doing? Usually the stress and strain to the body does cause a bit of muscle soreness at the end of a hard day out. The events at the workplace if bothering might also make you mentally stressed. When you are not working probably you might be following a set sleep cycle, which might make you sleep better. It is better to keep yourself physically active whether at work or not and follow a healthy sleep habits.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with epilepsy 42 yrs ago,when I was only 11 yrs old.I think the most difficult part of growing up with epilepsy was the limitations it imposed,as well as the humiliation I felt as some of my seizures were in public.The teens are a very stressful time of our life;and we all know what a terrible mix epilepsy and stress make! As an adult,epilepsy didn't prevent me from getting married or having 3 beautiful daughters;but the limitations(stress,sleep & diet) never changed.
Avatar n tn Routine stress testing after performance of cardiac catheterization and/or stenting is not indicated if the patient is not really experiencing any symptoms. One of the major limitations of stress testing includes false-positive result, wherein the stress test is read as positive when there is actually no problem. I suspect that in your case if you not having any symptoms, the stress this is likely false positive.
Avatar n tn To answer your question regarding return to work ,etc. is patient specific and requires consultation with a cardiologist who has your medical history, current condition, etc. My experience with a heart disorder going on 6 years now is almost identical to your present situation. I had hypokinesis from a prior heart event and CHF; the RCA 98% was stented, circumflex 72% (not stented), and the LAD is/was 100% blocked.
975514 tn?1324997938 I wanted to start a thread for those of us who have CFS and or FMS and are dealing with stress in the workplace. For those of us who are still working, the economy in the US and perhaps in the UK too has been extremely tense over the last couple of years. This has compounded the pressures I think we usually feel at work dealing with our illness and managing our careers. How do you all do it? I find myself struggling to keep a healthy balance.
