STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

 

 

 

 

Hello Friends,

We have another week-end ahead of us. I do hope yours will be filled with laughter and joy.With much happiness around you.
In a few days it will be Thanksgiving. I’m sure there is something for all to be thankful for.If you pass a service man of woman on the street.

Thank them for the job they are doing to protect us.from the enemy.
Then they come home to find this, I can’t even think of a word to call them.
I am appalled. The first time I saw them on TV I thought it was some other country.This isn’t America. Not what my five brothers fought a war for.. All olf the veterans who have come home with no arms or legs. Is this what they had to come home too..This
isn’t freedom. Tearing up other peoples property,businesses. If they aren’t happy here, the roads are wide open ,they can leave,
I wish they would. I am eighty one years old I was always proud to be a American.This is not the America I know.

I’m not feeling well tonight so I’m sending this e-mail i received from a friend. Maybe it will save someone’s life.

They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

They say if you email this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving at least one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke -
They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue  I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters….. S T. R.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ….she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Jane’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital – (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the ’3′ steps, STR. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and
SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to
‘stick’ out his tongue. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Will you?

Until Next Time

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY and BE HAPPY!!!!

Benefits Of Bean Bag Couches

Friday, November 11th, 2011

 



 

 

 

Hello Friends,

I trust your day has been good to you..  I guess  everyone is getting ready for the big turkey dinner.
I can smell it now. It’s right around the corner. I hope all  of your family will be there with you..
Our youngest grandson  and his wife are coming, his children are not. I’m not sure how many of ours will pop in.

There is about six more weeks until Christmas. You still have time to make/purchase  gifts. Are you going to  be ready?

We are doing a our series on candle making on another blog of ours. I hope you will check it out.
Bean bags are fun! Baby chairs, Mama chairs, Papa chairs and Couches.

Beanbag couches are definitely good in their own way. They are usually made of crepe fabrics that are either plain or sating weave. They can also be out of  crampon crepe, which is heavier and is adorned with ribs; chiffon crepe, which is given a soft finish; crepe de chine, a sheered crepe fabric that is limp; crampon crepe, a fabric that is embedded with fine ribs; flat crepe which has a smooth surface; and Blisse crepe, which has a puckered or a crinkled kind of surface.

If you want to install a beanbag couch for your automobile seats, you can do so too. The chair covers may have decorative chair ties like a ribbon to be able to tie the bow behind the chair. So you can relax in the comforts of your own vehicle in style.

Kids will definitely go for this beanbag couch because of its compact composition and small size. Beanbag couches do not take up such a big room therefore they are a better fit for the children who have just gained knowledge on how to walk. If you want to have an extra person or persons sit beside you, then you may extend a seat. The extended seat is supposed to be used as a leg rest and it may also have an armrest.

The colors of these fine beanbag couches stay vibrant even after a long time because the exuberant color is locked into the fibers of its fabric. The creases you can see and feel are products of industrious embossing, boarding, and other means that are the like.

The foams of beanbag couches are filled with low polymer content or a high percentage of filler material that is perceived to have less durability and strength. It has a different cell structure which helps when it comes to adding comfort, support, and bounce or resilience.

If you have a hard time in positioning the rickrack trimmed circles over the opening of the seat, then try this technique. It is easier to perform the aforementioned task if you place one of your hands inside the seat. The zipper on the inner bottom is manufactured with a “childproof” lock.

Beanbag couches usually are made with very high backs and also with a canopy. Their mobility is an asset because they can be transferred to another setting if you desire, or stacked up and kept to be able to have an extra space.

Unlike other couches, beanbag couches exert an exothermic heat, which is a product of several chemical reactions. The exothermal heat is a big help in relaxation and for the stress-free feeling. Heat is believed therefore, are medically proven to be providing comfort and relaxation to anyone.

Until Next Time,

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY  and  BE HAPPY!!!!

Bean Bag Chairs For Kids

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

 

Translator

 

 

 

Hello Friends,

I trust your day is going well, I hear there are still many customers without power on the east coast. I remember being without it for three weeks, when I was a child. living in Kalamazoo MI

 

That was a hardship. But now with the television and the computers unless you have a high powdered generator.
I can’t imagine being without it. My heart goes out to them.

 

Have you thought  about trying one of  beanbags for furniture family?

 

When the word furniture enters your mind, the first people that get into your head are the adults. Why is that? It is because of the present fact that adults are the ones that have that powerful purchasing power. However, you must never neglect the fact that not all the people are adults. How about the kids? Have you forgotten about them? It is not fair to forget about what might make the kids happy and satisfied.

 

Kids would definitely like it if you prepare furniture that they can find to be truly relaxing. They would want a comfortable get-away once they have escaped the hassles of school. And aside from that, it is also an added satisfactory thing for them to reach home and be able to relax after such a tiring game all afternoon.

 

There are different sizes of beanbags. Those that are sized for children have that engulfing look. This engulfing look gives the kids a secure and comforting feeling. They feel secure because a soft material is hugging them, as if protecting them from what might hurt them in the “outside world”. They also feel comfortable  there is no other piece of furniture that can be softer than beanbags.

 

Child beanbag chairs have just the appropriate size for children. This is done on purpose so that they will not obtain a feeling of insecurity after being hugged by something so humongous. Of course, you would also not want to have your beloved children suffocated, would you? That is exactly the point.

 

If you want your kids to relax at the same time have fun, then you can buy a child beanbag for your child. This is a fun way of teaching them that they do not have to make lots of noises and running around a lot to have fun. With their own child beanbag, they can realize that relaxing is another way of having fun.
If you, yourself, were asked about leaving your beanbag chair, you would certainly answer with a big fat no. That is how the kids would tell it. After having spent enough memorable time with their child beanbag chair, they will never even think of leaving their very own child beanbag chair.
So what else are you waiting for? Get your own beanbag chair now! And do not forget your kids! They must also get to feel what happiness and satisfaction you are feeling. Thus, get them their very own child beanbag chair as well!

 

Until Next Time,

 

BE  GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY and BE HAPPY!!!!

All About Bean Bags

Monday, October 31st, 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Friends,

 

 

I am so happy being back here with you tonight. I do hope you are not one of the unfortunate people Stranded by the snow. My heart goes out to you.. You are in our prayers.

Have you had your flu shots? I have talked to several people this year who had them, then became very  sick. Richard and I had ours early. Both sick afterward. My daughter has only been getting them the past
Four or five years, because of taking care of the elderly. She is very sick from hers. I just wonder if they
Did something different to them this time. Anyone have any ideas on this? I would like to hear them.

On to a different subject. The holidays are fast approaching. Due to the economy, people without jobs and all the other things that go with that many people will probably  make gifts. I really love getting home made gifts.
I thought I would put some ideas out there for you this year.
The bean bag chairs have been around for a long time. We had a couple, the grand kids loved them. The cats and dogs  also.(That’s what happened to mine) They are fun…

Contrary to famous perception, beanbags are actually not made of real beans. Instead they are made of tiny compounds that feel like beans. Of course, the various manufacturers of beanbags made it a point not to make beanbags with real beans because of the organic factor that real beans, of course, rot. If that is the case, then their beanbags will probably not be purchased by many because of the rotting odor and the fact that it is filled with rotten organic material.

Beanbags are not as expensive as you might initially think. Of course, some are deemed to be so expensive. But not every beanbag you see costs you a fortune. You just need to look in the right places to be able to find the right beanbag for your household, at the same time one that does not seem like you needed to rob a bank before purchasing it.

They also require keen maintenance and care. When you opt to relax in a certain beanbag, you need to make sure first that you are not wearing anything that is sharp enough to puncture its fabric. The fabric is not as thick as cement or hardwood; thus, you need to be careful if you really intend on keeping your beanbag intact.

Having a hole, or holes, on your beanbag is very detrimental. The air that gives your beanbag that engulfing look will be drained out and thus; you will have less air to have fun with. The “beans” might also exit through the “wound”, which means your beanbag will slowly become empty. If that is the case, then why don’t you just sit on the floor?

You should also be careful when it is time to give your beanbags a “bath”. You must not use any whitening agents if your beanbag is colored. You can if you want your beanbag’s color to fade. In regards with soap, you can soap it as much as you like, just making sure that the piece of cloth or brush that you are using to brush the soap is not one that can puncture the fabric.

Beanbags are definitely one of those furniture pieces that just make you wonder. It proves that humanity has not ended their stage of creativity yet. It shows just how much man can do and come up with.

Get your very own beanbag now and save more!
You will find some other ideas on a couple of our other websites.

Do You Have Faith In God’s Word And His Healing Power?

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

 

 

 

Hello Friends,

 

 

My goodness here it is another week-end almost here.. I hope your weather is as pleasant

As ours. Warm in the daytime cooler over night. Very good for sleeping..

Do you have children? It won’t be long and school will be out. I’ll bet your brain is working over

time thinking of things to keep them busy.  Oh! I do remember those days.. I wish they were back.

 

I hear our grandson (one of nine grand-children)is coming for a visit next week with his new bride.

It will be a busy time for my daughter..When  they come home like that for such a short time, its hard to pin them down in one place for very long.

They have things to do and other family members to see along with friends. None of our houses

Are big enough for everyone so we have to take turns with them. He usually stops in here first

As we are first on the route to his mothers. Sometimes we meet for dinner at a restaurant in town

If I am able to go.. They will stop again on their way out of town. They live in Wyoming so we

Don’t see them often.

“WHAT EVER YOU DO IN LIFE LET GOD DIRECT YOUR PATH, FUTURE AND YOUR DESTINY.”

 

The Word of God cannot work without Faith. You cannot understand without Faith. Speak the word of Healing

and you will be healed. Faith is certain of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. God’s word is

living and active. It penetrates to driving our Body, Mind and Soul.

Praise the Lord in the mist of the Problem.

Ask God for his Help.

 

Listen to the Lord., Pray for deliverance., Always think Positive. ,Raising the bar is getting closer to God.

 

Every Season in your Life has a Purpose., Our Lives are determined by the Season’s., Go from Pain to Power.

 

God does not Heal a thing by saying it is not there., You must admit your Present Condition., Your true Beauty is in your Inner Self.

 

Life and Death are in the Power of the Tongue. Your Mind plays an important role in your Victory.

 

Your Tongue; can be a curse, you can not tame it or control it. Only God can do that.

 

Nothing is to Hard for God, Life is Lived from the Inside Out. All we have is Today

 

The Future is the Past that has not happen Yet.

 

God is in Control of History he Works out everything for his Purpose.

 

“WHAT EVER YOU DO IN LIFE LET GOD DIRECT YOUR PATH, FUTURE AND YOUR DESTINY.”

 



Until Next Time,

HOW ALCOHOL AFFECTS THE BRAIN

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

 

 

Hello Friends

I am very happy to be back with you again tonight. I posted this last night, when I checked this evening it hadn’t gone through. I am very sorry. I trust you have had a pleasant day.We are getting some of the hot weather this week. In the nineties all week. That’s better then a hundred. Next week we are suppose to cool down a little again.
The elderly wants to stay in where it is a little cooler if  You have air conditioning you should stay by that,

Do you, or do you know someone who has a drinking problem?
I know first hand about that. They won’t admit they have a problem. When I was growing up we had our own living hell in our house. When my dad was sober, he was the nicest man you would ever meet. When he was drinking he was the devil himself

I begged my mother to leave him. You never knew when something would fly at your head. He tried several times to kill my mother. I was living in Kansas. My youngest brother’s wife talked her in to coming to my house. She bought her a ticket to come down from Michigan. He kept calling,  telling her if she didn’t come back he would come down and kill me and my family. I told the sheriff who was a friend, about it. He said he couldn’t do anything until he did something. I told him I was going to keep a gun by the door. You know what they tell you. If he gives you trouble make sure he is in the house. If he isn’t pull him in. He came down to Kansas. I was at the store. He gave my Mother a sob story, he couldn’t live without her, he said he even shot himself. He did. Grazed the top of his head. I told him it was to bad he missed.Folks, Please, please don’t put your families through that. By the way, he was a minister.
The following article will tell you what happens to the brain.This came out of my article vault. Yes, I do have the rights to it.

He said,I once had the unusual, though unhappy, opportunity of observing the same phenomenon in the brain structure of a man, who, in a paroxysm of alcoholic excitement, decapitated himself under the wheel of a railway carriage, and whose brain was instantaneously evolved from the skull by the crash. The brain itself, entire, was before me within three minutes after the death. It exhaled the odor of spirit most distinctly, and its membranes and minute structures were vascular in the extreme.

It looked as if it had been recently injected with vermilion. The white matter of the cerebrum, studded with red points, could scarcely be distinguished, when it was incised, by its natural whiteness; or internal vascular membrane covering the brain, resembled a delicate web of coagulated red blood, so tensely were its fine vessels engorged.

I should add that this condition extended through both the larger and the smaller brain, the cerebrum and cerebellum, but was not so marked in the medulla or commencing portion of the spinal cord.

The spinal cord and nerves.

————————–

The action of alcohol continued beyond the first stage, the function of the spinal cord is influenced. Through this part of the nervous system we are accustomed, in health, to perform automatic acts of a mechanical kind, which proceed systematically even when we are thinking or speaking on other subjects. Thus a skilled workman will continue his mechanical work perfectly, while his mind is bent on some other subject; and thus we all perform various acts in a purely automatic way, without calling in the aid of the higher cent res, except something more than ordinary occurs to demand their service, upon which we think before we perform. Under alcohol, as the spinal center become influenced, these pure automatic acts cease to be correctly carried on. That the hand may reach any object, or the foot be correctly planted, the higher intellectual centre must be invoked to make the proceeding secure. There follows quickly upon this a deficient power of co-ordination of muscular movement. The nervous control of certain of the muscles is lost, and the nervous stimulus is more or less enfeebled.

The muscles of the lower lip in the human subject usually fail first of all, then the muscles of the lower limbs, and it is worthy of remark that the extensor muscles give way earlier than the flex ors. The muscles themselves, by this time, are also failing in power; they respond more feebly than is natural to the nervous stimulus; they, too, are coming under the depressing influence of the paralyzing agent, their structure is temporarily deranged, and their contractile power reduced.

This modification of the animal functions under alcohol, marks the second degree of its action. In young subjects, there is now, usually, vomiting with faintness, followed by gradual relief from the burden of the poison.

 

Effect on the brain center.

—————————-

The alcoholic spirit carried yet a further degree, the cerebral or brain center become influenced; they are reduced in power, and the controlling influences of will and of judgment are lost. As these center are unbalanced and thrown into chaos, the rational part of the nature of the man gives way before the emotional, organic part. The reason is now off duty, or is fooling with duty, and all the mere animal instincts and sentiments are laid atrociously bare. The coward shows up more craven, the braggart more boastful, the cruel more merciless, the untruthful more false, the carnal more degraded. ‘ In expresses, even, indeed, to physiological accuracy, the true condition. The reason, the emotions, the instincts, are all in a state of carnival, and in chaotic feebleness.

Finally, the action of the alcohol still extending, the superior brain center are overpowered; the senses are beclouded, the voluntary muscular prostration is perfected, sensibility is lost, and the body lies a mere log, dead by all but one-fourth, on which alone its life hangs. The heart still remains true to its duty, and while it just lives it feeds the breathing power.

And so the circulation and the respiration, in the otherwise inert mass, keeps the mass within the bare domain of life until the poison begins to pass away and the nervous center to revive again. It is happy for the inebriate that, as a rule, the brain fails so long before the heart that he has neither the power nor the sense to continue his process of destruction up to the act of death of his circulation. Therefore he lives to die another day.

Are You Suffering From Anxiety, Panic or Stress?

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

 


Hello Friends,


I am very happy being back with you again Saturday
night. I’m sure you must be having a busy time with
family and friends.There couldn’t find anything nicer
then that.

I think most people have had a time when suffering with
Anxiety,Panic and/or Stress.They are debilitating. They
can drain you of energy. If you are suffering from any these                                   there is help for you.

Anxiety is a physiological state that’s caused by the
sympathetic nervous system (SNS). SNS is always active
at the base level (called sympathetic tone) and
becomes more active in stressful situations. The
“flight or fight” response occurs from here. Anxiety
doesn’t need an outside influence to occur. Anxiety is
often based on irrational or illogical fears.

Panic is related to the “fight or flight” mechanism.
It’s a reaction brought on by outside stimulus and is
a product of the sympathetic nervous system. Panic in
general is a sudden fear that can dominate or replace
our thinking. Panic usually occurs in a situation that
is perceived to be health or life threatening. Panic
is an anxiety state we’re thinking about.

Stress is a psychosocial reaction. It’s influenced by
the way a person filters nonthreatening external
events. The filtering is based on the person’s
assumptions, ideas and expectations. These
assumptions, ideas and expectations can be referred to as                                  social constructionism.

Panic and stress both play important roles in the
natural survival instinct. The preparations for fight
or flight are the body’s defense mechanisms. Preparing
for which ever course of action is decided upon to
preserve life, health or whatever is in danger.

Anxiety doesn’t always stem from an actual need for
fear or defensive action. Escaping situations that
make us anxious may bring relief, but these feelings
are intensified when we face similar situations. This
encourages us to escape the situation again instead of
working through the anxiety.



 

Until Next Time

Remember This Golf Driver Tip!

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

 

Translator

 

Hello Friends,

 

It’s a wonderful day, today. The sun is peeking through the clouds, the birds are singing and Richard is home for a change. He has been working seven days a week Now that the weather has warmed up. I was beginning to think the cold weather was here to stay.

 

Our neighbor hurt his foot when he was beginning his cherry harvest. (I don’t know if this is true) I heard He got off his tractor, left it running, it started to move. He ran back to jump on the tractor. He missed the step and the tractor ran over his foot(OUCH!!!) Come On, Even Old Granny knows

That is a NO,NO!  Why do people do things like that?

 

Every golfer wants to know the best golf driver tip. I hate to disappoint you there are many great golf driver tips that could be the key to unlocking monster drives for you. Every month the golf magazines have dozens of tips in them, but none of them get to the root of the problem.

 

If I were to get the opportunity to write a golf driver tip for a magazine, I’d say something against the norm. Something teaching instructors wouldn’t want to hear. Do you want to know what it is? It’s not some quick fix, because they never work long-term. The “only” thing that works long-term is working on you.

 

Your body has a current level of physical ability. I don’t care how many balls you hit at the range; how many lessons you take; and what driver you’re swinging. Hitting the ball further takes an increase in club head speed. Period. So hitting more balls or taking more lessons won’t improve this.

 

The only thing that can improve club head speed is strengthening your core rotational strength and flexibility. Your core is the engine to your swing. A weak or inflexible core will not give you the results you are looking for.

 

The golf swing a turn back and a turn through. Isn’t that about as simple as you can make it? If that’s true, why wouldn’t you improve your body’s ability to rotate quicker and more powerfully? This is the ticket to longer drives!

There are many simple, yet effective core rotational exercises you can do in your home, or even office to greatly improve your club head speed and driving distance.

 

Do you want an easy one you can do right in your chair?

Cross your arms in front of your chest. Sit up tall and erect. With a fixed head position, rotate to the right and left slowly. See how far you can go. Do this without stopping. As you feel a loosening of the core, start to rotate faster and faster. Do this 20 or 30 times when you think about it and I guarantee you’ll feel it.
Since time is such a valuable commodity, you’ve got to get creative. I’ve put together a complete section of my manual that covers simple stretches and exercises you can do right in your chair in your office. You can’t get more convenient than that.

I hope I didn’t disappoint you with this golf driver tip.
Have a wonderful rest of the week-end!




Until Next Time,

 

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF, STAY HEALTHY and BE HAPPY!!!

Herniated Disk and Back Pain

Monday, June 20th, 2011

Translator

Hello Friends,

We meet again. Time goes so fast. Now a few more hours and it’s time to go back to work.I think that should be turned around so
the five days of work goes fast and slow down on the week-end.I
think that would be pretty good, don’t you. I know my family would like that.

I trust you have had a happy and safe week-end. Richard worked in the yard, he finished this evening, very hot and very tired. As a matter of fact. He took his shower,ate dinner and off to bed.He gets up at three thirty.It is so warm now they are starting work at five. That’s just about the time I am going to sleep.

The yard and flowers are really beautiful. I think the older you get the more you appreciate these things. He never cared about working in the yard. Until the past two years. There are many aches and pains that go along with that.

When was much younger the yard and flowers was always my project. I loved being out doors, until one day I was on the ground planting some bulbs, when I tried to get up I felt something snap in my back. I need help to the house then the doctor. He put me in traction for six weeks. That didn’t  work
I ended up having a spinal fusion. (Not much fun)They also had to ream out the spinal column.I was told I may not walk again. I was in the hospital a week, and was walking before I left there.

I had another one tell me, he didn’t think I last another fifteen years. That was in 1959. I am still living. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure.8-D. By the way he is not.

The disk at the back spinal column divides the skeletal structures. Disk does not compose blood vessels or nerves like other elements of the skeletal structure. Instead, disks are made up of fat, water, and tissues that connect to the skeletal structure. During all hours of the day, the disks leak water, which is caused from forces of gravity. For instance, when we sit it is a gravity force in action, which one might think that it takes little effort to sit, but contrary to the notion, it is adding a lot of weight to the spine and disk.

The disk restores water that has leaked out during the day, yet the water is restored at slower pace. Fat and water is balanced in the disk, yet when it is not it causes a person to shrink height. Fat and water inside disks are thick, yet when a person starts aging, the substances begin to thin. When fat and water begins to thin, it can lead to osteoarthritis. Thinning water and fat of the disk is also the leading cause of back pain, especially at the lower region.

Disks exterior are covered by “Annulus Fibrosis.” Sometimes the connective tissues lead to abnormal thickening, which scars the tissue. Usually injury follows, then infection, and moves to restrained oxygen intake. Surgery is often the result. The inner area of the disk is shielded by “Nucleus Pulposis.” The pulp makes up the hub of the disk, which is polished and soft. The disks make up the primary supporting force that regulates the spinal column, bones, muscles, etc.

When the disk is not protecting the spinal structures it is often dehydrated, pressured, or deformed. The disk has strength that combines with flexibility to withstand high loads of pressure, yet when that flexibility and strength is interrupted, it can result to herniated disk slips, or other injuries.

Slipped disks in medical terms are known as HNP. (Herniated Nucleus Pulposa) As outlined the inter-vertebral disks are ruptured, which interrupts the nucleus pulposa. In medical terms, slipped disks can include L4, L5, which is Lumbrosacral and C5-7, which is Cervical. L4 is a single area of the spinal column and disks, which defines the numerical disk ruptured.

Slipped disks are caused from accidents, trauma, strain of the back and neck, lifting heavy objects, disk degeneration, weak ligaments, and congenital deformity of the bones. Disk degeneration is outlined in this article.

Symptoms:
Lumbrosacral will show apparent symptoms, such as acute lower back pain, which radiates to the buttocks and down to the leg. The person will feel weak, numb, or tingling that stretches to the leg and foot. Ambulation also causes pain.

If cervical disk problems are present, the patient will feel stiffness around the neck. As well, the symptoms will make the patient feel weak, numb, and he/she will feel tingling around the hands. Neck pain often generates pain, extending it to the arms and onto the hands, which cause weakness to the upper region of the body. The weakness often targets the triceps and biceps, which become atrophy. The lumbar is affected also, which the
patient will find it difficult to straighten the back.

What happens when a disk is slipped and/or broken the annulus fibrosis reacts by pushing its substance into the hollow spacing between the spinal column. The spinal column is made up of nerves, which travel to various parts of the body,including the brain. These nerves are affected when the disk is slipped. Learn more about the Central Nerve System (CNS) to relate to slipped disks. First, understand how the joints and connective tissues can cause back pain.

Acute Edema and Back Pain

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

Hello Friends,

 

I trust your  on day is going well.Our temperature today has been in the low 70′s in 1974 it was 97degrees.In June of that year the first ten days of the month was the coldest on record, the last ten days was the highest on record. That was some year.Now this year will also go down in the record books.
I see they are still taking water from the river to dump on the fire The firemen look so tired. It is that time of the year. Seems as though every time you hear the news there is a weather related disaster we have had fires burning on the foot hills around here. Mostly sage brush.

 

Sometimes we have weather related illness, If you have ever had acute back pain you will know what I mean. Seems to me it is elevated when the weather is damp or rainy.  There are so many different back related problems. We will be covering  for awhile.

Back pain is caused from a variety of problems including “Acute Pulmonary Edema.” Edema builds up abnormal and excessive fluids that cause serious actions to the tissue cells. What happens is similar to over watering plants. The plant will swell and gradually wither away.

Edema in acute stages is defined as heart failure to one side, yet the problem extends to cause pain in the back. What occurs is when the heart is interrupted; it channels the fluids to tubes, vessels, ducts, and passageways that extend to the lungs.

Causes of edema:

Edema may arise from inhaling smoke, MI, CHF, Myocarditis, excessive I.V. intakes of fluid, Valvular disease, overdose of drugs, such as morphine, barbiturates, and heroin. Acute edema arises from CARDS (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and Atherosclerosis.

The lack of heart pumping can cause stress to the chest, which when the chest is scarred it affects the spines structure and mobility. Overarching the back is where back pain starts, since the chest is restricted from scarring and/or edema.

Experts will often use X-rays, ABG tests, ECG, and monitor Homo dynamic to discover edema. Of course, edema can lead to major problems, such as Hyperglycemia, Dioxin Toxicity, Hypothermia, Excessive Fluid, and Pulmonary Blockage of the arteries, (Embolism), which starts blood clotting and affects blood circulation. What happens is the decrease of potassium to the blood causes excessive excretion of fluids that lead to the muscles, which cause weakness. The back pain is not necessary the issue at this stage, since the heart is the starting point, which could lead to cardiac arrest.

When acute edema is present, experts will often restrict fluid intake, while administering I.V. fluids to substitute. Oxygen and meds are prescribed. Often the doctor will request that the patient remain consistent in a high position, such as “Fowler’s.”

Symptoms:
Edema may present fatigue, coughing, murmurs, one-side heart failure (Right often), low output of cardiac, exerted Dyspnea, and so on. The condition can cause various other to emerge as well.

Experts will request that the patient limit fluid intake, and join in oxygen therapy. Since edema causes excessive fluid buildup, isometric exercises, and bed, rest is required. Isometric workouts is the process of pushing muscles next to a sturdy surface, whereas the muscles are put under tension, yet restricted from contractions. The exercises are recommended in a variety of medical treatments when back pain is involved.

Edema also affects the joints, cartilages, muscles etc, which can cause tenderness, ulcers of the legs, changes of stasis, and so forth. Edema affects the veins found in the neck as well, which is one of the leading starts of back pain. To avoid traveling into the heart cavity and discussing heart conditions, I will sum up edema and the causes of back pain.

As I mentioned earlier, back pain starts with edema since when the heart is not pumping blood it affects the connective tissues, ligaments, tendons, muscles, cells, joints, etc. As you can see, when the skeleton elements are targeted pain will occur from swelling and inflammation. The cause of back pain then starts with excessive fluid buildup emerging from acute edema and/or peripheral edema conditions.

To learn more about edema and back pain consider tendons, ligaments, disks, joints, connective tissues, neurological disorders, and so on.

Back pain has affected millions of people, yet the leading causes emerge from nerve and musculoskeletal disorders. Still, many diseases and disorders can cause back pain, including edema. In fact, when doctors discover musculoskeletal and nerve disorders, they often link one of the potential causes to edema.
