Health - 13 February 2007

For the last 3 years or so, I have been having a series of symptoms inculding: .
1. Massive unbearable pain in back and hips due to spasticity and rigidity.
2. Overall fatigue, get more tired with simple activity. Light exercise leaves me incapacitated and exasperates my muscle spasms.
3. Uncontrolled jerking of arms and legs.
4. Migraines.
5. Unable to bend down and difficulty standing up.
6. Difficulty walking due to hip spasm and pain.
7. Electrical surge feeling in back and hip muscles along with prickling pain.
8. Increased lack of coordination in the hands and feet.
9. Constant feeling of instability when standing or walking

Does any one know much about neuromuscular conditions to give me a place to start?? I have been refered to rehabilitation medicine....

Got any ideas???

Hey everyone, I'm currently 15 years old and have been attending Karate for a year.. and we do tons of upper body excersises to build up muscles.. Karate is once a week but when I'm not there I still work out at home lifting weights and doing a lot of push ups at home.. I'm about 145 lbs.. I don't know if I'm lifting weights wrong or doing push ups wrong cuz my muscles are huge bulky looking muscles.. they don't have curves or anything. I want to know how I can build up a lean cut arm.. and one more thing, when I do push ups and lift weights I DON'T STRETCH because I don't know any arm stretches, if that's one factor that can throw me off could you guys please give me a link for ARM stretches? I've been working out for a year already, and still I don't have muscles that are actually nice to look at, or the ones I really want. thin and cut arms. And guys if you think I'm fat I'm really not. I'm 5'10 15 years old 145 lbs.

Because I remember people complaining about how they had a woman's health but not a men's health.

i dont smoke, drink, or ever have taken any drugs. my iron was a little low so i am now taking iron pills. my first baby was over 8lbs, this baby is now only 3lbs and i have 2 months left in my pregnancy. do i have to have the baby early, at such a low weight or can i wait til full term. i am at bedrest now for 2 weeks and have a very important job i need to go to. i will do whatever it is needed to have a healthy baby but cant see any reason for being high risk other than the weight right now of the baby. i am told i am very healthy and so is baby.

My friend hasn't been eating much during lunch and she only eats crackers, small chocolates, and stuff like that every day for a while now. Today she wore pants that she said fit her last week but now are too big and keep falling down. She said she thinks she's going anorexic without even knowing it. But I think there is a reason behind that. I'm concerned. What should I do?

I have naturally wide hips and for different types of clothes i have to wear my pants differently (sometimes low sometimes high). I have to do that because sometimes i look like i'm just one big rectangle with legs unless i adjust the way i wear my pants. I am losing weight so i'm sure that will help but i was wondering if anyone else has this problem? I'm afraid that even when i do lose weight my hips will still be wide (since its just the way i'm built). I know its good for sports which is good for me but i always have to wear my pants on my hips instead of my waist to avoid the rectangle look. sigh. Anyone else share my problem or know what i'm talking about lol?

Every single day, i go to the YMCA and do 20-30 minutes of machines, (not treadmills and such) and then after that i do 40 minutes on treadmills. but machines such as sit up machines, strechers, do you kinda know what i mean, sorry about not being clear. But i don't do full on weight lifting with dumbbells and bench pressing. so please give me some info, because i have a large hieght advantage on girls AND BOYS and i don't want to lose that.

I have social anxiety and post traumatic stress, and although depression runs in the family... I dont feel depressed until the anxiety sends me into a panic attack (duh). I also have some anger. So I was put on 50mg "Sertraline" (Zoloft) once/day. AND 1mg Clonazepam (Klonopin) once/day. And did that regimen for 2 weeks, the Klonopin helped WONDERS, and I was able to go to Supercross with 52k people around me, no problem, but found that it wears off after about 3 hours.
So today, I go in to the dr. and she says to take half of the klonopin pill in the morning (0.5mg), and the other half at night. Then prescribes me 50mg Trazodone (take half a pill before bed).
She wont prescribe me any more klonopin, even though its obvious that it helps me... because I have had sessions when I havent taken it, and sessions w/ the dr when I have.. and there is a noticeable positive difference in my attitude and outlook.
How do I get the dr. to understand that if it is helping me, to refill it?!
