If you have low back pain Could clog shoes be making this worse?

Yes, they could. Poorly fitting shoes, or improper walking due to shoes that don't give proper weight-bearing distribution could certainly cause low back pain.. The only way to determine whether they are the problem, or not, would be to wear a well-made pair of shoes for several weeks and see it the low back pain improves. As long as the low back pain is not accompanied by nerve pain (burning pain down a part of the leg) the time will be well spent if that answers your question...

Will midol help with back pain in males?

Not really - of course it depends on the pain and its cause, but all Midol contains is just Tylenol, Caffeine and a small amount of diuretic. The bulk of the drug is Tylenol, so you'd be better off with regular Tylenol.

Having had severe back problems for over 20 years (I've had 3 major spinal operations in the past 12 years) and being a chronic pain patient requiring opiates for relief, there are some OTC drugs that you can use that are better than others for reducing pain. I normally use between 120/150 Percocet 10/325's (the strongest dose available) in addition to Fentanyl patches for my pain control. There are times though when I either don't need or feel like taking Percocet for breakthrough pain, so I'll use one of 3 OTC drugs in its place.

Percocet is a combination of Oxycodone and Tyelenol. Since I use so much, I need to keep my Tylenol intake as low as I can, so I don't often use extra Tylenol. However, when I do need it, I use Tylenol's Rapid Release Gel-tabs. They work within 30 minutes or less, and do a great job relieving pain and inflammation.

The other OTC med that I use a lot is Bayer Back and Body Aspirin. I find it works even better than the Gel-tabs. It contains a small amount of caffeine to stimulate a faster release through the system, but it's fantastic for pain relief when I don't feel the need for a much stronger drug like Percocet.

The other OTC med I use occasionally is Aleve. Aleve tablets are Naproxen with a buffered coating to ease stomach upset. Prior to having to move to the more heavyweight medicines, I used to use Naproxen in generic or brand (Naprosyn) form, prescription dose being 500mg. Aleve tabs are much smaller, so I'll take enough to equal a prescription dose. I do have Naproxen 500mg tabs, but they're not buffered.

Unlike the Bayer B&B and the Gel-tabls, Aleve takes time to take effect unless you take enough to equal a prescription dose. 500mg will usually take an hour or two before you start feeling any reduction in inflammation, so I don't use it as much as the other two. I really only use it when I'm having muscle spasms or I need to reduce inflammation, and in those cases I know I'll be taking it for several days, which is the only way to get any real benefit.

You can get the stuff I've mentioned at Wal-Mart or any supermarket.

About 3 months agoi had horrible mid back pain which is gone now but now my left arm has burning sensation alond my forearm and hand and aches...what can it be its been like this for a month?

It could be anything from Carpal Tunnel (you see people wearing a brace on their hands ... especially cashiers or someone on a computer all day) to a sciatic nerve to a disc problem in your lower back. Since we aren't doctors on this board it's best to have it checked out by your doctor. You'll feel much better getting a diagnosis from your doctor as I'm sure it's nothing physiotherapy or a good Chiropractor couldn't handle. Just an added note ... if you are having problems with your feet (they are sore, hot, ache) then soak them in Epsom Salts and warm water for 20 minutes every night. The Epsom Salts draws out the soreness and keeps your feet in good health. Also, if you carry a heavy purse and the strap is on that particular shoulder that could be causing the pain (it happened to me.) Humans sometimes forget we are on our feet a good portion of our life and it's tough on the spine. You may also need calcium supplements to stave off Osteoporosis.

Why do skinny not gain weight when they eat a lot?

skinny people do not gain weight usually because they are anorexic (tend to avoid certain food , claiming they can not , or will not eat them , also starvation is involved. This means they eat, then force themselves to vomit it back up (actually this is bulimia , not anorexia), thus staying skinny. GET NO IDEAS.
BUT , some skinny people just have fast metabolisms , they eat lots and lots , but don't gain weight , [purely because their body needs so many calories to keep up with them , but they can never really consume this many calories because it is too many to fit in one day. So all the energy they consume is used for growth etc , but not stored as fat.
