To get a clearer picture of what is happening, you can ask the doctor to measure your hCG levels a couple of days apart. They may also rescan if necessary. Spotting is not uncommon in early pregnancy. It is possible that your body has adjusted to being pregnant which may be why the symptoms have gone. However, because it can also be a bad sign, you can get it checked if you wish, or simply see what happens.

you should do both cardio and weights, do to your back problem you will have to modify the way you work out but can still enjoy the results.cardio... I would recomend a very low impact cardio work out such as a stationary bike this would put little stress on the back and can be done for about 10 minutes before your weight workout as a warm up then again after your weights for 20 minutes or more if you feel up to it.Weights,,, I also have a bad back due to a sports injury but i can still lift a good deal of weights and body build. you have to modify how you do your lifting and it is helpful if you have a basic understanding of the muscles you are working and the movements required. Many movements done normany put little stress on the back such as the bench press as long as you do not arch your back. my legs are very strong and i can lift alot of weight on the leg extension machine but my back cant take the strain, so to work my legs to the maximum without so much stress on the back I lift half the weight and use only one leg at a time, the leg muscle works just as hard but with half the stress on the back, this is true for other leg machines as well such at leg press and hamstring curl. I also have a hard time doing some arm exercises standing up such as bicept curls because it stresses the back but you can eliminate almost all the stress on the back by doing the exercise seated in a gym bench with a slight reclining back rest on it.
with osteoporosis you need to be concerned with not just your back but your other bones as well. You do not have to life heavy weights to get results. I would recomend a light weight routine, this is done by doing the normal weight workouts but using a weight that you can lift 20 times each set. and do 3 to 4 sets of the exercise not resting between sets more than a minute. try to do 20 lifts each set, if you cant get 20 do as much as you can but the first set must be 20, if you cant get that on the first set use a lighter weight, if you can do 25 on your first set you are not using a heavy enough weight. you will have to start with heavier weight as you progress and get stronger, It will take some trial and error to figure out what is the correct weight for you in the beginning. you should keep a note pad with you recording the type of workout, weight and number of lifts of each set, this will allow you to save time by knowing exactly what to start with on a new day and you will also beable to view your progress. for example if you lift 12lbs one week starting with a set of 20 and your last set you got only 11, then this is the weight you want to start with next time, when you get to a point where every set is 16 to 20 lifts then you are stronger and know it is time to move up in weight.
getting a membership to a gym is the best way to go, it should not be an intimidating thing to work out around people that live at the gym and look like apes like myself, you will find people there are for the most part down to earth, helpful. also the gym atmosphere has all the equipment you need, helps you stay motivated, gets you out of the house and there is usually allways someone there to help you out if you need assistance or just some ideas for your workouts.
as for your work outs I would recomend at least 4 times a week,bicepts, back, forarms one daychest, tricepts and shoulders another with the third day off to recover. you can work your legs and abs in anywhere you like or even do them on a third day which would still count as a rest day because none of the prior muscles have to work on that day, but seeing as you probobly don't want to live in the gym you might just do legs with your chest day and abs on the other. you never want to work the same muscle 2 days in a row because it needs its recovery time heal and grow just as your mind needs its sleep. by spliting you muscle groups as stated above you can still work out on consecutive days with out making a particular muscle work, when you work your back you are not working your chest, so even though you are lifting weight for the back you are allowing the chest to rest. Weight lifting if very effective for strength building not just of muscle but it does infact build and strengthen bone!
I hope this is not too hard to follow the way i wrote it. please be sure to check with a physician to see if it is ok to lift light weight with your condition, if so i think you will be happy with the results and feel much better, Good luck Ps. don't forget the cardio at the end of your workouts which is necessary to strengthen the heart, increase your metabolism (the ammount of calories you burn off while at rest at home, natural thurmostat), and increase lung capacity and efficiency.
What to do with a dachshund with back pain?

I don't know about the color of the pill or the lettering, but Oxycodone and Roxicodone, Roxicet and several others are instant release forms of Oxycontin. The "contin" part of Oxycontin means it is a continuous release form of the medicine, which is more powerful than morphine but not as powerful as dialudid. They are extremely dangerous narcotics that can, and have, killed many people over the years. Do not take any of these drugs without a doctor's express permission and knowledge, and then follow directions very, very carefully. Again, these drugs can and have killed people. They are nothing to fool around with.
Hi, I understand your concern with the spotting and lower back cramps/pain that you're experiencing. I want to assure you though that these types of symptons are perfectly normal for many woman. I have had four children and experienced both spotting and the cramping with all 4 of my pregnancies. Your body is going through so many changes right now. The spotting you're experiencing is probably due to the egg implanting itself firmly on the uterene wall. This will also cause back pain and/or what you describe as cramping. I've also experienced 2 miscarriages. I never had cramping with them, but, bled very bright red blood. So, as long as the spotting your having is not bright red in color, everything shoud be just fine. Worry isn't good for expectant mothers so relax and just let nature take it's course - You may find some other helpful information that will ease your mind on the following two websites, www.webmd.com & www.sofeminine.co.uk! Good Luck and God Bless! Warmly, Kimberly

What position can you put a patient having lower back abdominal pain?
Laying on the side works best, but honestly lower back AND abdominal pain could be something serious, like a herniated disc, tumor or a kidney infection and should be checked out ASAP if you don't already know the cause.
You may have gallstones. See a doctor. Only they can diagnose a problem.
generally, you can test up to 5 days *before* your missed period. So if your already three day late, I would say you would be safe to get acurate test results. Always remember to retest about 5-7 days after your first test to double check everything. goodluck!
Can you take two 8 hour Tylenol for back pain?
Yes. What I use when I don't feel like using Percocet (or 3) is Tylenol Extra Strength Rapid-Release Gel Tabs. They work fast (within 30 minutes) and are great for back pain. The other OTC med I use is Bayer Back & Body Aspirin. Since I use a LOT of Percocet (120/150 Percocet 10/325's per month for the past 9 years) I don't use Tylenol as much since Percocet is a combination of Tylenol and Oxycodone. However, both of the above OTC meds are strong enough to deal with any breakthrough pain I don't feel the need for using Percocet for. I typically will take 2, and that's the recommended dosage anyway.
Others I've recommended the Rapid Release tabs to have told me that they have gotten good results as well. It works fast and last 8 hours.
If you read my Supervisor bio toward the bottom, you can get an idea for how bad my back / spine is and the level of opiates that I use. I only use Percocet for breakthrough pain - I have much stronger meds for my primary pain. It may give you some insight as to how effective the 2 meds I mentioned above are for me.

Sitting on the floor is an expression of humility before the Guru. Furthermore, it also makes people feel equal and allows each person to choose a place suitable for him/her. While sitting on the floor, one can enjoy Kirtan with greater concentration than while sitting in chairs or on benches. It needs only a little training to be able to sit comfortably on the floor without being tired. A common problem with sitting on the floor is caused by skintight pants, which are not supposed to be worn in a Gurdwara, anyway. If a person has a medical problem and cannot sit without support for his back, there is no objection for his/her sitting by the wall of the Gurdwara. However, in practice it has been found that most of the people want to sit there for the sake of comfort and convenience, which needs to be discouraged. It is, therefore, suggested, that the people having a medical problem may be provided with a speaker in a separate room other than the Sangat hall. They may sit there with some support to overcome their medical handicap. In the Gurdwara we are supposed to be attentive and responsive as a student is supposed to be in his classroom while his teacher is teaching.

All can be- however it can be just pm symptoms too. The big question is: Did you have intercourse around ovulation that could have resulted in pregnancy (unprotected sex, failed birth-control method)? If in a week, your period doesn't happen, I'd take a pregnancy test immediately. Good Luck!!!
Does reddish brown bleeding with lower back pain at 5 weeks indicate miscarriage?
Just to give some background on my situation. I am going through fertility treatment because I have PCOS. I did 5 rounds of Clomid and metformin with no success. Started Gonadotropin therapy (Puregon) last cycle and ovulated 2 or 3 eggs on Day 17 of my cycle with the help of HCG trigger shot. My RE performed IUI to increase chances of success. Went for my pregnancy test on March 7 (Saturday) and it came out positive with HCG levels at 161. I was really happy since all my hard work finally gave a BFP. I was called for another HCG test on Monday and the results came out at 518 which was good but Monday evening I started experiencing pain in my lower back and my right ovary. I also felt the same pain in upper right leg. I was spotting light pink discharge since March 5(Thursday) which changed to bright red bleeding on Thursday evening. The bleeding was still light but the pain was very bad. I went to my doctor on Tuesday morning and he asked me to get tested for HCG and Progesterone levels. Well the results for HCG came down to 280 from 518. I know it is not a good sign but I was wondering if any one went through the same situation as me and had successful pregnancy? I am still bleeding but it is reddish brown in color and it is still light in flow. I do not have similar back pain etc. but I do get a wave pain for minute or so every now an then. I believe I am 5 wks 2 days and really hoping that my pregnancy will continue. Please let me know if any one had similar experience as me.
