What pain reliever can I take or apply to my wrist?

 

Ive been having recurring pain on my right wrist, I think it was because I strained it doing some needlepoint and then strained it some more lifting weights.

 

Right now, it hurts when I use a pen. The pain is more a dull throb and when I stretch my wrist/fingers, it hurts a little more.

 

Theres no swelling on the wrist or anything like that.

how long has it been recurring? if it's been more than a month you might consider doing an x-ray to make sure there aren't any hairline fractures

 

you can apply a topical NSAID like ibuprofen gel or you can use an NSAID patch like Macroxam for the pain. At night it'll help to keep it in a neutral position as you sleep with a splint, application of a warm compress for around 15 minutes twice to three times a day can also help.

Pretty recent ... I think it started 2 wks ago...

 

There are days when it doesnt bother me that much so I can ignore it but when im working out then it starts to hurt.

 

Thanks for the advice!

Check with your doctor. There are some debilitating conditions in the wrist in which a nerve is impinged, causing pain like in carpal tunnel syndrome.

 

But judging from your description, it could be a tear of a tendon or ligaments.

If it is just a traumatic tear, it is important for you to rest and if possible "immobilize" that hand.

Pain relievers can help.

 

But as I have said earlier, have it evaluated with a specialist, an orthopedic.

Better be safe. Remember, you are taking about your dominant hand, the hand you use for writing, eating, etc.

Thanks again... I was thinking of monitoring it for now and going to see the doc if the pain persists ...

 

I think I tore something because of that prolonged embroidery session and aggravated it when I lifted weights...

 

I got a splint that I will use when I sleep ... and am taking ibuprofen... Is that the right thing to take?

This question is with regards to Anatomy.

 

Is it possible that a 25 year old girl already has sagging breasts? She claimed that she never had an offspring yet. What are the possible causes of such? I only know two reasons - 1) She had a kid or almost had a kid 2) She is sexually active ... Can you enlighten me on this? Thank you... Much appreciated.

Is she fat or was previously fat for a long time prior to her current figure?

yep....as with the usual nsaids, you have to take it with or after meals, because of the propensity to cause ulcers.

[ANALyzer]

Nope. Overweight is even an exaggeration. Although she lost weight tremendously because she worked as a part time model. What could be the reasons?

Thanks doc angel. Its actually slightly better now ... but it was still difficult to lift weights last night so I kinda skipped it.

yeah. avoid lifting weights or straining it first. it might take 4-6 wks to heal if its a strained tendon or muscle

[redshirt]

may I know where or from whom do you get the prescription....?

I get the meds from the black market. Comming from pakistan.

 

Anyways my self control has won over my addictive tendencies again. I haven't gone for another sheet and I haven't been drinking for a while now.

Just a reminder that there is a risk when you buy unregulated medications.

Good morning doctors of mtc!

 

Just dropping by with a few questions for you guys. This just happened recently, not to me, but to my girlfriend, and i'm really worried about her..

 

Here's a more complete description: Whenever we are sleeping together, after "ahem", after being asleep for a few minutes, she would experience waking up, but cannot open her eyes, talk, nor move her body. She would have to try really really hard to try to tap me, or squeeze my hand for me to wake her up, and this has gotten me genuinely worried. And this thing has only been happening lately, around 1 and a half month already. And strangely, this only happens when we're together, though we've been going out for almost 2 years already, so i don't think this is some old problem.

 

Is this somekind of sleeping disorder? Or could it be something serious in a way? Should we go visit a doctor? i searched up the internet and found something called "Sleep Paralysis". Have to read more on it though.

 

Thank you docs in advance for the advice.

Sleep paralysis is a normal physiologic condition. You're body is supposed to be effectively, if not completely, paralyzed during sleep so that it's not supposed to act out any mental processes or routines. Losing sleep paralysis is a problem that sleep walkers/sleep talkers/sleep drivers/etc. face.

 

What your girlfriend might have is that she's already achieved a level of sleep where her mind is still at a relatively shallow level (i.e. she still feels she's awake) but her brain has already instructed her body to go into sleep paralysis. This might be a result of still some endorphin activity keeping her brain from fulling achieving deeper levels of sleep right away.

 

Is this serious? Unless there's a medical problem somewhere else, I don't think so. I'd suggest a serum electrolyte check (especially for serum potassium) to rule out other causes of transient paralysis.

hello everyone.. I would like to ask where can I buy Nexavar with discount... I have a friend in need, She has liver cancer... Nexavar is very expensive cost for 60 tabs I think is around 147 thous plus good for 15 days only... pls help thank you very much..

 

Your best bet is to get in touch with an MD who has a direct contact with the product manager of Nexavar. I guess that's as good a price as you can ever get.

docs, i wake up in the morning feeling ko super tuyo ng throat ko. then while in bed. parang may nakabara sa throat ko, of course inisip ko baka plema lang. so while in bed, pilit ko inilalabas... mamaya. parang humapdi yung uvulva ko...(i searched the net for waht it is called) i think habang pilit ko ilabas yung plema, nakadikit yun somewhere between my tonsils and over stretched it. i feel masakit yung back pa ng uvulva, then i just realized parang may dugo na. punta kaagad ako banya to spit out and may blood nga... nag garggle ako agad to think it might stop bleeding. i think tumigil naman yung bleeding agad since di ko nalalsahan yung blood na.

 

it scares the hell out of me and searched the internet..

 

maybe because of allergies, infection, dehydration,

 

but not to the point nag bleed yung na-search ko...

 

can you guys help me kung ano to? i realy cant leave work these days baka may alam kayo quick remedy or give me an idea kung ano to?

 

now im eating breakfast... tuna sanwits i really feel the dryness ng tounge ko. and masakit yung uvulva pag lumulunok. i think dahil sa "cut" or over stretched it.

 

drinking water makes it feel a bit better.. but i know i still got to see a doctor.

It is best to go see an ENT at this point. I doubt if it's actually your UVULA that's the problem. There might be something happening in the lining of your nasopharynx/oropharynx (i.e. lalamunan mo and its connection to your posterior nasal airway). Could be inflammation, could be a small growth. Anything in that area, best to see a specialist right away, especially if it persists.

Docs gud am po.

 

Nahihiya man ako but gusto ko narin iconsult sa inyo ang medical prob ko. A month ago i went to davao and got laid but i use a condom. After a week nagkapigsa ako sa ilalim ng balls ko. i took antibiotics and hinintay ko nalng na lumabas lahat ng puss. after less than 1 week nagkaroon ulit, sa katabi nya lang din na side. This time nagpacheck ako sa family surgeon namin, he gave me a anticiotics na mamahalin and nung nagburst na ulit eh hinitay nalang ulit na lumabas lahat ng puss at mag heal. after a week ulit meron ulit ako pigsa. this time sa my balls ko na. currentyl my cut na xa at lumalabas na puss but continue ko rin xa press para lumabas lahat.

Did you take your antibiotics for 1 week or more? You might have not finished your regimen correctly.

 

STD? IMHO, it might not be. IF (big IF) pigsa talaga siya, it's not usually caused by an ST microbe. Baka folliculitis yan na makulit (infection of the hair follicles or skin pores). Proper hygiene and complete pus removal (you might need to see a doctor for a curettage if the boil/abscess is large) is needed.

 

Do you have a past medical history or family history of diabetes? Get your blood sugar checked. Recurring infections can be caused by diabetes.

The same mechanisms that prolong ejaculation are also the ones that keep your pee in. Your ejaculatory ducts might have been full and the relaxation of your sphincter so you could pee must have allowed your semen to flow out as well.

[werr_dx2133]

so it means normal lang yun?

 

thanks for the reply
