posting for a (preggy) friend:

 

can you please recommend a good product to prevent stretchmarks (sa boobs)? she's currently using palm butter cocoa but its too itchy & she feels (literally) hot , nagka-rashes din.

 

tnx in advance...

 

cannot really prevent it, stretchmarks literally means marks cause by too much stretching of the skin causing the layers to crack. so prevent the skin from stretching to much "may" reduce the chance of stretchmarks to occur. of course there are other factors involved. :thumbsupsmiley:

up ko lang yung sa kin, masakit ang aking legs kapag matagal akong nakaupo, medyo masakit sa may puwetan thru legs kapag matagal akong nakaupo, pero kapag morning ok naman siya lalo kung bago akong gising...any advice

 

Arnold,

 

It could be a condition we call Sciatica wherein the nerves supplying the sciatic nerve are compressed at the root in the spine. It is also quite often seen with patients with bulky wallets at the back pocket. The wallet sometimes compress the nerve at the buttocks area causing pain or sensory deficits. The symptoms are relieved by removing the wallet or shortly after standing, when the pressure over the nerve has been removed.

 

I suggest you consult with any of the following: an orthopedic surgeon, a rehab sprecialist or a neurologist. This condition falls in any of theise specialties.

 

Keep us posted for updates.

Dude, all I can say is is puwede kang mahawaan ng STD kahit sa oral sex. It's always your judgement call.

The quick safe home remedies would depend on the kind and extend of your injuries. It is always best to have them evaluated by an MD as they may require hospital/surgical intervention.

thanks doc sa advice, actually planning ko talaga pumunta na sa doctor(probably next week) kaso hindi ko lang alam kung kanino, well salamat sa info......ganito ang nararamdaman ko eh.......ang sumasakit sa akin yung sa likod ko sa may puwitan papuntang baba thru may legs(sa right legs lang sumasakit) , so kapag nakatayo ako masakit siya, kaya minsan hindi talaga ako makatayo nang matagal, minsan hindi ako makatayo nang diretso, nangyayari lang ito kapag umupo ako nang matagal, kaya pag tayo ko masakit na siya, pero kapag umupo ako ok naman siya........

Generally, patellar or pre-patellar bursitis may be relieved by conservative means such as pain relievers and compress, avoiding stress to the knee cap. However, in extreme cases, aspiration of the affected knee may help.

 

I suggest you confer with your ortho specialist regarding this matter.

what about ACL tear?

 

does this really mean i can never play again? my dad said that some can still play before surgery and post actually have never played again.

 

also, it's very expensive to have surgery.

 

How much is the cheapest MRI here?

Any meds for heart enlargement? thanks

yes, you could play again, but you have to watch and take care of your previous injury. please note that it will only heal to about 80% of its previous strength, so the chances of a second tear are much higher. it also takes as much a 6 months for such an injury to heal properly. if i remember correctly, Cardinal Santos has the cheapest MRI available, and has the best available staff to read the results. not sure about the current rates though.

 

 

Any meds for heart enlargement? thanks

 

hmmmm, heart enlargement could cover a lot of problems and conditions. best would be to get a consult with a cardiologist for a work-up and he could start the meds.
