To Radial

I have just read a notice about safety concerns if you are on xarelto and are going to have spinal anesthesia if you have had previous spinal injections. I had between seven and ten cortisone shots in my lower back between 2011and 2014, followed by radial ablation on both sides in 2014. I will be having knee surgery in a month and my doctor mentioned that he uses a spinal anesthetic. I won't be seeing him till a couple of days before the surgery and wonder if that is a little late to discuss it with him. Do you have information on what percentage of patients have problems? ## I've been asked to give more information about my problem. I have looked at other blogs and it seems that Xeralto has been given to patients for other reasons than AF. These patients have been taken off of ...

I am 39 and recently had quintuple bypass surgery. They took one artery out of each arm, a vein from my leg and used my mammoral artery. The surgeon said I would have to take diltiazem for about 3 months post-op so my radial arteries wont pulse and close off. My cardiologist says that I need to be on it for the rest of my life. My surgeon is also a cardiologist. Who should I listen to? Is the cardiologist just saying that to get kickbacks? Three months is a big difference from the rest of my life. ## Hello, Jay! How are you? Generally bypass patients do need to take such a medication for the rest of their lives, your surgeon may have just said it would be 3 months, initially, then you should be reevaluated to see how you are doing. Unless he owns a pharmacy, there is no way for your car...

I need to find a doctor that is willing to write oxycontin scripts in Colorado Springs CO. My doc of many years retired. I have advanced osteoarthritis in all my joints and spine. I have had 3 hip replacements, major reconstruction ankle surgery and the radial head of my elbow removed just to name a few. also partake in some recreational drugs, which obviously is an important factor in referring me a do . With deepest appreciation, Keith ## Keith, Hi I'm in Teller county. Wish I could give you the name of a doctor, but that's been a problem for all of the chronic pain patients in Teller county since last year when our doctor retired. Have several friends in the Springs that are facing the same problem. They have to make the appointment, after finding a doctor who is accepting ...

Round, bright orange. One side blank, other side in radial pattern TCL 081 ## is TCL 081 ever used by drug addicts in any form? is it ever combined with advil in any form for some type of high? ## This is an over the counter medication, containing 8.6mgs of Sennosides and 50mgs of Docusate Sodium, a generic for Senokote S, a generic for Ex-Lax, used to relieve constipation. I have no heard of anyone using this to get high, but stranger things have happened in this world. Repeated use can cause one to become reliant on it for bowel movements. It can also cause some side effects such as nausea, stomach upset and gas. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Please add any knowledge you have sharing or comparing different nation's medical stem cell treatments for spinal conditions as I wish to consider all medical tourism options. Im dealing with a radial tear and herniation L5/S1, a pinched nerve T4/5 and major T compression which has resulted in relatively recent herniated and painful T6/7. I feel as if the compression is overwhelming my thoracic. I have degenerative disc disease atop the herniations. I have to decompress the thoracic every 30 minutes and when I bend forward and apply gravity I can often hear 4-5 pops of vertebrae realigning but only after the muscles have loosened up which takes a while after waking. I am willing to try anything to try to strengthen the muscles to hold up my spine. I would like to know what are any o...

IF ANYONE HAS SUFFERED A NERVE PALSY OF ANY KIND AROUND THE TIME YOU WERE TAKING LYRICA; IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTACT ME {edited for privacy}. I think everyone should get as close to accurate representation of my experience. Nothing over exaggerated, although the options for symptoms above was difficult to be accurate with (such as I am not sure "Shoulder-hand syndrome" fully qualifies as a symptom, but there are close associations). I COULD NOT MOVE MY FINGERS OR CONTROL MY WRIST for about 8 months, and STILL SUFFER ongoing weakness. About 2 months before I started regaining mobility a doctor displayed some research citing the use of LYRICA HAS RESULTED IN A VARIETY OF NERVE PALSIES, including Peroneal, Bell, Cranial, RADIAL, etc... By DISCONTINUATION and physical therapy 3x...
