I'm a thirty eight year old male with lower back pain. I operate heavy equipment for a living and I'm a fourteen year volunteer EMT-B for a local Ambulance service.
For several months I have been dealing with this chronic pain and I cannot fit therapy into my schedule during the week. I teach skiing on the weekends to children however I might have to give it all up.
My closest friends give me their own type I & II pain meds when I ask only when needed. I recently had a MRI which stated mild degenerative disk change at L2-3 and L4-5 with minimal disk bulge at L4-5.
How do I convince my very young PA to write me my own prescription without feeling like I'm asking for the world? Do I have any othere options? Any old timer doc's out there?

I had strep throat a week ago, and they gave me Amoxicillin (500mg). The strep seems to be gone, but the 10 days aren't up yet and I still have to take them. Tomorrow, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out and they prescribed me Penicillin (500mg). Is it safe to be on 2 different antibiotics at one time? Should I post-pone my wisdom teeth surgery? Or should I just continue taking hte Amoxicillin and then start taking the Penicillin tomorrow? Thanks for any input.

I have been anxious for years. Ive been prescribed zoloft a long time ago and it did absolutley nothing for me. I stoped and tried to go med free. Recently i've noticed I havn't been doing things I would usually do because of the thought "What If" stuck in my head. My doctor prescribed a medication named "Escitalopram aka Lexapro". I am very nervous trying a drug that affects my brain. I feel like god forbid I take it and go crazy and end up in a mental home. I have heard good and bad things about this drug, I heard people go crazy, and I also heard good stories. When I was a 13 I took "Ritalin" for ADHD and had a seizure. I stoped! Doctors say it was from going through puberty, not the Ritalin. I NEVER have seizures, but ive been scared to try anything else. Now im sitting here with this SSRI hesitating to take it because of all these crazy thoughts in my head. Im healthy and i just want my life back. Someone please help, Is this a "OK" drug to be on? Im to scared about everything. Help

Scientists performed an experiment to determine whether there is a connection between learning ability and food. They took two groups of 20 mice each, all from the same purebred strain. The mice were deprived of food for 3 days and then given a standard learning session in running through a maze. They were trained by giving them a mild electric shock whenever they took a wrong turn. Immediately after each learning session, one group of mice was fed, but the other was not, A week later, all of the mice were tested to see whether they could still run the maze correctly. The group that had been fed had retained this ability, but the other group had not. The probable reason that the scientists used only mice from the same pure-bred strain is so that?

I've seen that the suggested dosage of proteins when bodybuilding is about 2 grams per kilogram of body weight a day. I have calculated this with different foods and it just doesn't seem healthy to me to eat that much proteins. Am I right?

Hi all, I was hoping you could help me solve this question. I’m 19 years old and recently had another growth spurt 8 months ago in my knees where I grew an inch in a week and have grown 3 more inches since, but during it I was eating a lot of soy bread, and I was wondering if the phytoestrogens in the soy bread might have caused the growth spurt leading to a premature closure of the growth plates in my knees and thus stunting my growth, or if I was just genetically programmed to have a late growth spurt at this age?
I ask this because I read up that estrogen and testosterone convert to estradiol, which is the hormone responsible for the growth plates in our bones closing and I was unsure if the phytoestrogens in the soy bread I was eating could do the same thing which might explain my sudden growth spurt, much in the same way that taking steroids can produce a sudden growth spurt but lead to premature closure of the growth plates due to rapid conversion of testosterone into estradiol
