Is it good that your back hurts after few days of lifting weights?
In your case, my suspicion is that it is not good that your back hurts after lifting weights.
It is common and acceptable to have a slight degree of muscle soreness after doing any type of heavy work. This is associated with the process of muscle development that occurs when the muscle tissue is pushed beyond its usual limit resulting in muscle breakdown; in response the body repairs the newly torn muscle tissue by increasing the size and number of cells that were engaged in the heavy work. As a result, continued exercise will increase muscle strength by increasing the size of those muscles being exercised. This is why to get stronger and larger a weight lifter must push his body to continually lift more and more weight, and he must allow time after heavy lifting in which he allows the body to heal and rest so the muscle can recover.
However, you question only mentions the back hurting and not the arms, shoulders, legs or specific areas that are normally exercised when lifting weights. For this reason I suspect that you are incorrectly doing your weight lifting, and in the process injuring your back. You might be using incorrect technique or using weight that is far beyond your current capacity to lift safely.
I suggest that you speak to someone who has lifted weights for a while, as at a local gym or health club to learn how to lift safely.
How do you cure a swollen lump in lower back?
well...swollen back could be anything...even a blood clot, an std, or some cracks inside of your skin which could be causing this. if it is a short term swelling, then you should just put ice on it, but if the swelling persists then you should heat it in some way. one thing that definetly works is sitting in the bathtub in warm water... i hope this works, but i would recommend going to the doc. for immediate help.
How can a withdrawal from oxycodone 20mg affect you if you go cold turkey?
Withdrawals are different for each person, but they've never killed anyone. Going cold turkey isn't a great idea though. If you haven't hated life before, you will if you do.
First off, you never want to stop any drug abruptly if you can avoid it. Step the dose down gradually (cut the pill in halves and quarters - take a half for a week, then a quarter, until it's not as bad). You should also ask your doctor for an anti-anxiety med, anti-nausea med, and something to help sedate you. I don't recommend doing it if you have daily commitments - you want to have several days to get through it and begin to recover.
The keys to getting through withdrawals are:
1. Sedation
2. Hydration
3. Good Movies
4. Video Games
5. David Gilmour (at least for me)
It's easier to get through withdrawals if you're sedated, and you'll be sweating enough that you need to keep hydrated. Movies and games are to keep your mind occupied on something other than the discomfort if you're awake. Your mood will get pretty foul too, so alert friends and family.
As a high dose opiate patient for many years, I've had to increase and lower my dosages several times over the years, and dealing with withdrawals is just a part of daily life. I typically get a case of Gatorade or Powerade (Powerade's little less hard on the stomach) and water to help me through, make sure I've got enough clean clothes and sheets to change with because you can get pretty soaked from sweat. The other reason you want to keep well hydrated is to help flush the opiate out of your system faster. The longer it's in your system, the longer it'll take to break your dependency.
You also need to understand that you'll be pretty cold too. Opiates are vasodilators, meaning that they open the blood vessels. As you start to loser your dependence, the blood vessels constrict, and you feel cold and clammy.
It also helps to have some aspirin or Tylenol around to help with the pain you experience as the stuff leaves your system.
Can hydromorphone be prescribed along with 37mcg Fentanyl patches for breakthrough pain?
It can, but generally doctors prefer to prescribe Percocet or plain Oxycodone rather than Dilaudid (hydromorphone), unless the patient has problems with morphine intolerance (both Dilaudid and Fentanyl are synthetic opiates).
it is possibly apendicitis
Could frequent headaches lower back pains and lose of energy be signs of pregnancy?
headaches are not a sign of pregnancy.
You ought to see your physician since the protein may just be exacerbating an underlying condition. Your body may not be able to handle the excess protein if you have something going on with your kidneys or another body organ. Take the pain as a warning sign and get yourself thoroughly checked by a doctor.
Is it a protein supplement that you are taking, or steroids? There are many dangers involved with the latter, and they seem to be effecting your body in a very negative way. Stop them immediately.
I think you should stop taking synthetic medicines for your body, instead add the organic foods as an alternative for that. with all natural substance, it will never harm your health and body.
Sounds like you could have a bladder or kidney infection. Go see the doctor.
Is it serious if you get neck pain from the shampoo sink?
Pressure on the nerves in the back of the neck can cause pain when you lean backwards over the shampoo sink. Take a little waterproof pillow to the hairdresser.
Why do you have clotty period lots of discharge abdominal pain back pain nausea?
My gynocologist told me that could be a sign of endometriosis, and to have regular check ups, especially if you have a family history of the disease, or cancer. He also said the clotting can be a sign of the menstrual flow not leaving the body as it should. Its best to have a check up, medicine can be prescribed for the symptoms.
First up - your Primary shouldn't be giving you Gabapentin (Neurontin), as it's a Neuropathic pain med. From just what you've asked, the 2 doctors aren't communicating, and that's never a good thing.
Neurontin is often prescribed with an opiate, as it has been found in clinical studies to help some people with their pain. Personally it never did anything for me but increase my prescription bills, but my problems are a lot more severe than yours.
Anti-depressants are often prescribed for pain patients for one of 2 reasons - first, pain and depression go together, and anyone in real pain who says they've never been depressed either isn't in any real pain or is lying through their teeth. The second is that like Neurontin, some anti-depressants have been found to augment the effects of the painkillers being used. I've found that anti-depressants have an adverse effect on me so I cannot use them, but when I was they didn't really do much for pain control either.
If your pain is constant, you should be on a chronic pain med and not an acute one like morphine. Though the dose your taking isn't that strong compared to others, if you're using it 3x daily that means your primary pain is such that you'd likely be better off with a chronic pain med like OxyContin or Duragesic (12 hours and 72 hours respectively). If your long term prognosis has you recovering, then that's probably why you're on an acute med and not a chronic one. Either that or your Pain doctor is an idiot, Anesthesiologist, or an Osteopath - same difference either way.
One thing I've learned the hard way after almost 12 years in formal Pain Management - never take any doctor at their word. We are all taught from cradle to grave to trust them implicitly, but doing so can cost you your life or worse, as it has cost me 10 years of mine and almost my life completely. Doctors are like barbers, they provide a service, and if the service isn't satisfactory you go elsewhere. You wouldn't go back to the same person who have you bad haircut would you? My own primary doctor uses me occasionally to test out new doctors in town, as she knows if they can pass my review they're probably okay.
You should be keeping a Pain Diary to track your pain as well - it's standard method to determine how bad your pain is and what course of action to take as far as prescriptions go. From what you've asked, it appears your doctor is at best using a hit and miss approach. Pain Management for any competent Pain Specialist isn't difficult to deal with. I've dealt with the best and worst the system has to offer, and there are more bad pain doctors than there are good ones. Many are just regular specialists who a obtain a certification in Pain Management, but have no real background in pain control. They're just taking advantage of the the specialty and the fact that pain legislation and pain management has become more widely accepted over the past 15 years. Anesthesiologists are one example - they know about the drugs and how to put people to sleep, and wake them up, but they have no real experience when it comes to long term pain control as it's not their primary area of expertise. Osteopaths aren't much better, but they at least have some knowledge of pain control. Only a true pain specialist is worth seeing for help.
I've included a link to the American Pain Foundation below. There's good information there that will help open your eyes to what you're dealing with. Also, if you wish, you can go to my bio page and use my Wiki Supervisor email address to ask me any questions about your situation. My own pain journey is included toward the bottom of it.
If you're interested, there are 3 OTC meds I use when I don't feel the need for Percocet or Demerol tabs (10/325's and 100mg's) to augment my Duragesic 100mcg patches. Bayer Back and Body aspirin and Tylenol Extra-Strength Rapid Release gel tabs work pretty well with opiates (Percocet is Oxycodone and Tylenol combined). I typically use the aspirin since my normal Percocet prescription over the past 9 years has been 120-150 per month, so I'm already using a lot of Tyenol as a result.
The last is Naprosyn, which you can buy OTC as Aleve. Aleve is Naprosyn (Naproxen) in non-prescription dosage. The prescription dose is 500mg every 12 hours, and though it takes a day or 2 to really start working well, it really helps. I use Aleve at prescription strength rather than prescription Naproxen since it's buffered some and isn't as harsh on the stomach. Aleve dosages are 220mg.
How would you describe a prolapsed disc?
A prolapsed disc is another term for a herniated or bulging disc; it is sometimes also called a slipped disk. This bulging or prolapse of a disc occurs when the disc material is torn due to injury (falling), bearing excessive work loads (lifting too much), or as part of the aging process (disc tissue dries out and thins as we get older).
A disc is a special kind of cartilage that is found in the spine. The purpose of the discs is to serve as a cushion between spinal bones to absorb shock and allow movement of the spine. Another purpose is to act as spacer to keep the spinal bones apart so there is enough room so that the spinal nerves do not become pinched or irritated as they branch out from the spine.
Pain often happens when a disc prolapses, depending on which of the 24 discs of the spine has prolapsed or "slipped." Pain can be felt in the low back, legs, neck or arms, all depending on which disc and where the nerves in the affected area are located. The pain might be mild or severe, and can be accompanied by muscle weakness or numbness.
