Hello, on 12/7/06 I had fell very hard onto a concrete floor. I hit my head back, shoiulder and arm. I have been in physical therapy for about two months to treat this injury.
I first recieved and MRI for my neck and it showed that I posterior disc protusion slightly effacing the ventral csf at c5-6 and c4-5. I also have a disc bulge at c6-7.

At first the pain was quite severe but physical therapy, rest and medication had helped some bit. The problem is that I still get neck aches daily. The pain can get to be pretty bad at times
.
I recently recieved and MRI for my shoulder which showed impingement. The results say: There is a down-sloping acromion which does touch a midly efface the supraspinatus musculotendinous junction. There is tenosynovitis of the biceps tendon sheath
.
I kind of know what this means but not fully. I have alot of pain in shoulder and neck, shoulder is very sore and my underarm is sore and tender. it hurts most when walking/reaching. Also, my elbow started cracking with much pain and my forearm is really tight, my fingers constantly feel jammed and there is pain/weakness in wrist. Also, my shoulder has been cracking.

My question is, I see a my neuro surgeon for a follow up soon but I called the office and they said he does not deal with shoulders. Then, the week after I see my doctor. What kind of treatment should I expect for these injuries and might I need to see another specialist? Also, may I need more physical therapy my prescription is currently up for it and i have completed the suggested course of therapy yet am still in much pain.

Any info/suggestion you may have will be appreciated.

Thank You

I just started working out. My current diet is I eat low carbs for 2 days, then I eat moderate carbs for 2 days, and have 1 day for higher carbs. Then I start back at low carbs continuing cycle.

I recently bought whey protein that's 55g of protein a serving with like a gram or two of carbs.

If my protein shake is absent of carbs can it still cause me to gain weight or is it an ok supplement to have in diet?

Thanks

To give a background, I know what Oxycontin is, and I know how it works, so please do not post any information about the drug itself, read my question carefully, and please advise.

I am currently prescribed 80mg Oxycontin pills for chronic back pain, and I am 18 years old. I would like to know if this dosage is a large dose for 18 years old, as my pain is expected to be permanent, and I do not want a tolerance to develop to a point that I will not be able to get relief for the rest of my life. Thank you, and any additional advice or personal experiences are appreciated.

Before I broke up with my ex, whenever I'd fall asleep, he'd put the moves on me and I'd completely freeze up when I came to and never knew what to do. He'd reach his hands in unmentionable areas, he'd fondle my chest and even tried to pull my pants down a couple of times.

I never told anyone about this. but today, I saw pictures of him, as as soon as I saw his hands and fingers...I feel like I'm going to/want to throw up.

Is this normal? If so how can I make it stop or get rid of it?

I really don't know what to do...

Do they want sympathy? Do they want you to act like it's not there? Do they just want you to listen?

Why people say that it is important to drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday to lose weight. Does drinking water help you to lose weight?

This may sound like a joke, but this is really serious. My sister who's currently 5 years old suffers every week in the bathroom. She tries to "poop" but it causes her so much pain in the area where feces comes out. Seeing her tears and cries makes me hurt alot. When the feces finally comes out, it never flushes down becuase of its enormous size. I was wondering if there's a solution to this problem. I dont want to see my sister suffering every week like this...

Ok heres the deal. I'm 16. I weigh in at 135lbs (61kg), and i'm just about 6 feet tall (180cm). I REALLY think i'm underweight, sometimes when I look at my arms, they look like a couple of twigs and i'm extremely embarrassed, so I wear long sleeved baggy shirts to cover up for it.

Besides that I know exactly what I want to do, I want to gain muscle mass and FAST. I want to have nice clean cut muscles by the end of the summer which will also be bigger too. So how can I do that?..give me everything for advise!
