Health - 29 October 2006

I have cerival stenosis, and every morning I wake I with a trobbing headache and servere pain in my neck and shoulders. I take IB 800 three times a day and try to massage my neck every night and apply heat. I have been to the surgeon but they will not operate now for this will limit the mobility in my neck.

My question is does anyone know of any excercies or therapy that may help? I am so tired of being in pain and any suggestions to help me cope would be highly appreciated.

There is someone I know , woman 35 years old, 160 cm, 75 kg, 40 % fat percentage.
She is on a strict diet 1200 - 1500 cal/day and she exercises every day at least 2 hours ( weight training, full body 3 times a week, cardio every day).
After 3 months of exercise and dieting she still haven't lost weight at all, nor the body fat percentage appears to have modified much.
According to scientific calculations she should burn at least 2600 - 3000 cal a day, while maintaining her fat free mass through weight training - 3 times a week, full body training each time, 1 exercise for every major muscle group 12 - 15 reps ( 15 - 20 RM weight).
Cardio training at about 130 - 140 heart rate for at least 60 min , 6 times a week.

What do you suggest ?

Thanks for your answer

When I was younger I had buck teeth. As I aged, the gap between my two front teeth closed and my teeth are all nicely aligned. However, my two front teeth are longer than my other upper teeth. It's very obvious and noticable. Kind of resembles beaver teeth. I've heard about filing the teeth down. I wondered if that causes any tooth sensitivity or any problems to the teeth? Any other details would be helpful too.

I have not been breastfeeding for atleast 3 weeks but I have not started my period. I had my tubes tied and burned so I know that the chances of getting pregnant are slim.

I have a chance to sign a contract for a record deal. My parents and most of my family thinks its a waste of time. My step-dad is dieing and my mom really needs me. She says all my step- dad wants is to see me succeed, but not in music. I've had dreams taken from me all my life, so why bother with this one?

back on july i had streptococcus i took factive and it went away but after 3 weeks my throat started to feel like heart burning, my left tonsil got bigger,.... and a strange stop appeared on my neck ... i went to the doctor he gave me mpore antibiotics... it went away but came back after 2 weeks...finally my doc gave me penicilline and it got a lot better but it came back again and looks the same as before and it hurts too
the did a cultive(i'm not sure how the test is called) and they check for streptococcus but they both were negative

I'm not sure if i should go back to the doctor because he doesnt know what i have and he said that it will go away eventually but it's been about 3 weeks n it looks the same

any comments?

I have had this since age 2.5 and been told by specialist that the disorder is my best friend, that I have never known anything different and that I can't get better. This takes away any hope, so I isolate myself and 'phone the Samaritans - sad or what ?

I'd get my ear pierced there just because it looks pretty cool, but I was wondering if anybody has actually lost weight as a result (be it the "magic" of acupuncture or placebo effect). Also, can't you risk shattering your cartilage by using a gun? Shouldn't you use a needle instead?

On September 8th I had an emergency Appendectomy and an IV was placed along the inner side of my left arm just a few inches below my wrist. Today I just happened to brush my arm just right and felt a good jolt of pain come from the area where the IV used to be. I ran my fingers over the area and discovered a rather firm and painful lump under my skin which is about the size of a lima bean. Does anyone have any idea what this may be and do you think I should have it looked at by my family physician?
