Back Neck and Spinal Pain

The biggest concern I have is a saddle thrombus - a large blood clot that has lodged at the end of the aorta and is blocking blood flow to the hind limbs. If this has occurred, you should take your cat to the vet immediately.

Have you tracked your cycle with a Basel thermometer??? Do you know exactly when you ovulated? If not you could have ovulated later than you thought and are having a long cycle. I have a very regular cycle but last cycle my body ovulated really late and gave me one very long cycle. This cycle I ovulated extremely early so I will have a very short cycle. The way I was able to see exactly when I ovulated was by watching my basel temperatures every day. After a woman ovulates it takes about 12-14 days to get her period. Your cycle is determined by when your body decides to throw out an egg. You may also be having what is called an annovulatory cycle. That is when you do not ovulate at all and eventually your body will reset itself or ovulate and then you will get your period after that. The symptoms you have described sound like PMS symptoms to me. I bet you will get your period in a day or two. If you don't I would test again.

Lie on the floor with a rolled up towel under your lower back. Bring both knees together and feet flat on the floor. Move both knees to the left for 5 secs and then back to centre, then move both knees to the right for 5 secs and back to centre. Hold for a few secs at either side. Then bring both knees towards your chest for 5 secs and back to centre. Hold for a few secs at chest. Try these exercises and see how you get on.

Some osteopathic physicians, physical therapists, and naturopathic physicians also use spinal manipulation to treat patients with low back pain.

By "fiber pillows" I assume you mean firmer support for the head and neck than the usual sort of foam or feather pillow can provide.

The answer is yes, but with reservations. Properly fitted firm support that enforces good posture while resting can have a wonderful effect. Randomly picked firm support that can cause bad posture can have a horrible (if usually temporary) effect, all the way to paralysis or unbearable pain.

Don't use the advise of a salesperson who is motivated to sell the product, speak with someone who knows about body posture and your particular problems before you spend money on something that might only increase your discomfort.

Doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors and various types of coaches (martial arts, sports etc.) can all help to choose the proper type of treatment and recommend products that are more likely to help than hurt.

The primary source of information will continue to be yourself, and the way you feel should be your guide to use of treatment options.

Lumbar

Heck yeah. I felt it both times I did it with terrible pain and numbness in my lower back and back of my leg

I Originally Thought That It Was A Sign Of A Stroke Either Before Or after You've HAd One But I Can't Be Sure It Could Just Be A Pulled Muscle ??

my regular mensus is on 11/8/12 only 1day .i have back pain ,feeling fullness of abdomen,somtime heartburn.These symptoms can get pregnant.

The missed period suggest you may be pregnant, take a test. If it comes up negative see a doctor as you may have a hormonal problem.

answer

Hi missed period can be caused by stress, age and diet. Some girls have irregular periods which can be a longer cycle or it can cause a period to skip a month. Girls who think they could be pregnant stress and cause there period to be late. Your mind can also play tricks on you some symptoms which you have loads of girl get. I got them because I thought I was pregnant when I weren't. When you think your pregnant you experience pregnancy symptoms and then you think you are. If you think there is something wrong go to the doctors. If you think your pregnant then go get a pregnancy test and find out if you are and not. It could be also symptoms of a period. Which is also confusing.

I know some symptoms of early pregnancy which are:

Feeling sick or having morning sickness

tiredness

metallic taste in mouth

bleeding gums

gaining weight or losing weight

Headaches

Sore boobs

More toilet visits

I know sore nipples is a sign of coming on cause I always get sore nipples just before I'm due on. Cramping and pains and back ache and back pains is also a sign of a period on it's way.

Some girls don't know there pregnant because they don't feel or go through pregnancy symptoms in early pregnancy.

Those were my exact symptoms (except the toe pain :)) i knew i was pregnant before i even took a test. you and only you know ur body and know when there is something different going on! as long as the cramping is mild and not bringing you to your knees and if your not bleeding then your okay!

Seeing as they're in a completely different area, I doubt it.

No it wouldn't, but it's time to see your doctor to find out why your vocal cords and your back are giving you problems.

This sounds like some nerve problem that is a little higher up. These nerves "follow" along the ribs to the front side. It could be muscle pull, too. It is hard to guess this way. See how things are in a few days. Take some generic pain meds but follow directions. Try heat or cold or both. Any idea why now that you have thought about it for awhile? Did you try to pick up something very heavy? If it gets worse and not a bit better in a day or so, see the doctor.

This appears to be a doctor's diagnosis copied from a medical report.

"Prominent central disc extrusion" means that there is a large protrusion or release of the disc material into the central space of the spinal canal. This can be a painful and debilitating problem that could cause pain, weakness and numbness in that part of the body served by that part of the spine.

"Mild facet ligamentous hypertrophic changes" means a slight or early increase of size (hypertrophy) of the ligaments surrounding the facet joints of some undetermined area of the spinal column. This is a description of early wear and tear on the spine in which the ligaments are becoming thicker than normal, commonly associated with early degenerative osteoarthritis.

"Severe canal stenosis" means a serious and advance degree of closing off or narrowing of the spinal canal. This indicates that the spinal cord is being encroached or pressure is being applied to the spinal cord due to reduction of the diameter of the spinal canal.

Taken as a whole, the term means that this person has two problems going on at the same time, disc extrusion and facet ligament thickening, resulting in reduction of the space in the spinal canal. This would likely be causing significant pain, numbness and tingling of the part of the body served by this level of the spine that is being described.

One cause of back pain can be an aortic aneurysm... The aorta is the main large artery (about 1-11/2 inches in diameter) that carries the blood from the heart through the middle of the body, and has lots of arteries that go out to the stomach, intestines, kidneys, etc. It splits just below the kidneys and becomes the left & right Iliac arteries and goes into each leg [copy & paste this into your browser to see what I'm talking about: http://www.bartleby.com/107/illus531.html ]... (leave off the brackets) What is worrying about your question, is that in some people the aorta becomes stretched out of shape (like blowing up a long skinny balloon), and eventually it can rupture, leading to very bad consequences... It could be that when your heart beats (and you have this "aneurysm"), it could be making the aorta bulge out a little and stretching the nerves in the wall of this aorta, causing you to have this pain you mention. You really need to get to a medical doctor and have him check you ASAP. One of the tests he should run is called an "abdominal ultrasound"; in cases of questionable results (or to confirm the findings) will be to get an abdominal MRI and/or CT to confirm an aneurysm, and also to see just how large in diameter and how long it is. Please do NOT put this off...

I have a better question. Why are your capital I's coming out as capital Y's?

The discs in your back are separated by what are called Facets, one on left. one on the right that are placed up and down (bilatteral. ) Screw it, basically what it means is the the "facets" are breaking down and can cause two discs in you back to be touching each other. But if it's mild than try to do some strengthing to your back muscle and maybe that will help the arthropath and hypertrophy to help you back ligamnts and slow down the process of any degenerative facets.

Yes in fact the spring target the pressure points in your back from the sources i have heard the memory foam mattress is the best for sleeping as it takes you body's naturalform. Have you ever seen the commercials with the people jumping up and down on the bed with a cup of wine, if so that's the bed that is supposed to be the best. All in all springs cost much,much less but they cause back pain.

Lumbago also known as low back pain, is pain of the lumbar region of the spine

There are many different exercises one can do to help relieve back pain. These exercises include doing yoga, water exercises, and stretching frequently.

Probably just early pregnancy symptoms, but if you're worried see the doctor.
