if you lift freewights and only work on arms and shoulders, can you end up hurting your back because your back muscles are not strong enough to support the heavy weights?
Answer:
You definitely could ... particularly if you are attempting to lift too much weight and cheat by using your back to help lift the weight, which I see all the time in gyms all over. But why would you want to just lift for your arms and shoulders? You need to address all body parts to have a strong and balanced body. Muscular imbalances in the body can lead to problems down the line, like back pain.
yes you need to squat as well to strengthen ur lower back which takes the most stress
yes you definatley can. my husband did that in highschool from lifting weights for football and now he has bursitis in the back . Wich is very painful

Lidoderm? Any good?
I wanted to know if anyone has tried Lidoderm? Is it any good? Is it strong? Does it produce a eurpohic[high] feeling? Thanks
Answer:
Lidoderm is a topical anesthetic. That means it numbs your skin. It does absolutely nothing else. It certainly does not produce a "high" feeling. It's just lidocaine in a patch form (a form of the stuff the dentist uses to numb your mouth before a filling).Is it good? That depends on what you're using it for. It was very good for me because I have RSD/CRPS, which makes my skin hypersensitive to touch. I doubt that Lidoderm helps muscle aches or bone pain. It only works on the surface.My only problem with Lidoderm was the size of the patches and the difficulty of keeping them where I wanted them at all times. I wore several at a time usually, and they didn't always stay where they were placed.That said, they were definitely better than nothing. They made it so I could wear a sock on my left foot.
I could not tell any difference when I used them. You definately don't feel high. I say take some otc motrin and rest whatever hurts you'll feel fine soon enough.
They worked fairly well for me, but because of my severe sensitivity to touch ( I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome CRPS/RSD) taking them off was so painful that I stopped using them. They do not make you really feel "high" They just make the area that you place the patch on numb.

Leg problem??
ok, so i've been to like 4 doctors and had 6 blood tests taken, over 10 x-rays, a blood pool test, and a bone scan. No one seems to know what's wrong. My heel has white spots that keep disappearing and is swollen. My tendons are like tight and the physical theripyst is working them out, but there is something more than that. I am on a strong pain killer that is so strong you can only take it once a day and i still wake up at night from the pain! My ankle was swolled and discolored to start, then later it radiated up my leg. I had a very similar situation about 4 months ago. If you know of anything this could be, please help me. My grades are slipping and the pain is horrible. I can't walk, so i'm using crutches and they are having me wear a boot all day and night, but i can't even walk on my boot alone yet, the pain is too much. I have to wait until monday to get my bone scan results, but if you think you have an idea, please let me know ASAP, i just want this pain gone! Thanx!
Answer:
Gee, I don't know but have you been referred to a Neurologist yet? I understand that they are pain experts. I kinda wonder if this pain is from pinched nerves in the back. I am praying for the doctors to correctly diagnose the cause and properly treat you to eliminate this horrible pain.
see doc
Is it just your heel that is bothering you or your whole leg? Is the swelling in the ankle or the whole leg? Left leg or right leg?

Leg infection/swollen foot?
i got a splinter that got infected and over night i covered it with a sterile gauze pad and wrapped it with an ace bandage, it wasnt that tight but i guess it was too tight because when i woke up my foot is retaining fluid. how do i make the fluid leave. ive had it elevated for most of yesterday and its gone down about 25% but how long can u sit with your foot in the air?ps i saw the dr and got antibiotics, ide like to not to have to go back to the drs because my boss is paying for this
thanks
Answer:
No expert here, but it makes sense to me to drink lots %26 lots of water--an overabundance will force your body to move %26 circulate the excess fluids, thereby getting it back to normal more quickly.? Massage will help with lessening the swelling too. Elevation is standard procedure--should be above your heart level.And there are OTC %26 Rx diuretic pills made to force the fluid out--you'll need to be ready to run empty your bladder frequently! (Lasix, etc.)
thanks

Perhaps you have RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome)
Sounds like restless leg syndrome. Do they feel like bugs are crawling, and you have to just grab your leg and rub it? Do they do this more when you are getting ready for bed? I don't think it has anything to do with the water.
just drink more milk and cut your leg open

Leg Cramps. HELP!?
What is best way to get rid of led cramps? I've been having them for several days and I've tried just about everything. More liquid, more calcium, is there anything else I can try? HELP ME, PLEASE!
Answer:
i would make an appointment with your doctor.i have fibromyalgia and i get leg cramps pretty much daily...but its possible you have rls or some kind of myopathy or something else.
your doctor if nothing else will run some tests and figure out if you need medication.
in the meantime...lots of calcium, glucosamine is good for your joints if its bothing you in your knees or ankles at all.
good luck!
get active! run or something! (or go see a doctor? i heard something about it on the news...)
Try to do some stretching of your muscles that are cramping.2 or 3 times for 30 secs each time.
warm them(shower, not heavy excercise, compresses) best answer?
The Chinese use this method-lie down with legs and arms outstretched keeping the heels apart and the toes touching one another,then extend the legs as far as possible maintaining toe to toe contact and heel separation. Repeat this stretch 10 times,one to three times per day.
eat bananas, drink lots of water and OJ, u need potassium and water. i suffer them SOOO bad too, i feel ur pain, sometimes ill get them from my hips to my toes in both legs, i can't even walk when that happens :(

Left side severe pain?
for the last fue days I have frequent pain on my left side under my ribs. it radiates toward my back. today it is almost unbearable to move or walk. when I cough or press on it, it hurts. I don't think i'm pregnant cause I got my period this month. I do have a yeast infection so I don't know if it relates. i'm goin to the docs soon, I just want some opinions on what it could be
Answer:
There's many possibilities of what this could be. My first thought is you have muscle strain because the pain is radiating into your back, as well as hurting when you press on it. Place a heating pad on the area of pain for twenty minutes and see if this helps remove some of the pain. This could also be an intestinal problem. If you've been constipated this could cause pain because of the pressure of the intestines on the nerves. If you have been constipated start taking a powdered fiber supplement first thing in the morning and last thing at night. If none of these work for you I'm sure your doctor can help.
i would like to help you but this really isn't the place to ask. it could be anything. please get help as soon as possible though because if it hurts when you cough or press the affected area, it could be very serious. however, it could very well be related to your yeast infection, although it is rare.
i hope you get well. please e-mail me / message me if you figure out what it is.
