How is sciatica a disability?
Sciatica pain may feel like a bad leg cramp that lasts for weeks or months before it goes away. You may have pain, especially when you sit, sneeze or cough. Discomfort ranges from mild to incapacitating, and may be accompanied by tingling, numbness or muscle weakness. Like the term slipped disc, sciatica pain is a term often misused to describe any pain in the leg that may originate in the lower back. True sciatica only involves pain caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve or its branches. Pain in the front of the thigh or groin, although possibly referred from the low back, is not sciatica. Sciatica is a set of symptoms not a diagnosis. This point is important, because treatment for sciatica pain will often vary, depending on what is irritating the nerve, causing the pain.

What to expect with genetic testing to determine thyroid cancer?
Most recently, thyroid cancer patients have been able to benefit from genetic testing for thyroid cancer. As ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association, Inc. writes, "Genetic testing of the RET proto-oncogene should be performed in all patients with MTC (medullary thyroid cancer) to determine whether there are genetic changes that predict the development of MTC. In individuals with these genetic changes, removal of the thyroid during childhood has a high probability of being curative."Related Article Link: Facts about Thyroid Cancer

What is the causes of graves disease?
Grave's disease is an autoimmune dysfunction of the thyroid glands, and is also called "thyroid storm". It's a condition that sometimes occurs when a thyroid gland turns "on" and won't shut off, thus producing too much thyroxine. It's signs and symptoms are usually much the same as hyperthyroidism and include a condition known as 'bug eyes' where the eyeballs protrude from their sockets. It is when the body produces too much thyroid hormone because of the immune system. It can affect anyone, but it is most common in women and people under 40. Very rarely is it a life-threatening condition. There are a couple treatments for the disease, one involves a medication to allow the thyroid glands to slow production until the body can heal, the other involves destroying the thyroid glands either surgically or through radioactive iodine. You can read about the condition at the related link below.
