Can anyone give me some simple exercises to get rid of my back pain its started a few hours ago and its like in the middle of my back.
Answer:
If it has just started, the best thing to do is to rest. It is most likely a pulled muscle. If you have actually done something more serious, like ruptured a disc, then there are specific excercises that a good physical therapist can recommend.
If you just HAVE to try something right now, you can always try leg lifts. Lie flat on your back and raise one leg at a time about a hand's width off the ground. Hold for 5 seconds. Lower your leg and do the other leg. Repeat one leg after the other. Keep in mind though, that unless its not serious, this is not going to be a quick fix.
You don't exercise back pain, you rest, apply heat and take pain killers and get someone to massage it.
Go and walk around in the pool... don't swim... just walk around...
It works...
lay flat on your back with your hands by your side palms on floor, pull knees up to your chest gently roll hips from side to side don't over do it! swimming the best exercise
Purchase yourself a "tens" machine, it is pure heaven for back pain.

Can anyone give me info on digoxen the results of having too much of this medication in the body?
My elderly mother who has dementia refuses to stay in the hospital shes not eating much and has too much digoxen in her body, my stepfather will not have her forced to stay in hospital, She is also dehydrated, Is this digoxen poisoning going to kill her, I feel so helpless, she doesn't know who I am and I haven't seen her. Does anyone know about digoxen?
Answer:
If you can make sure you step-father or whoever her care giver might be is not overdosing her with the Digoxin. Do you know what level Dementia your mother has? How long has she suffered from it? I work with the elderly and some tips for helping her with the dehydration is to have other things around with a lot of water in them ( perhaps leave a small plate of watermelon around if she has a favorite drink make it readily available) dehydration is quite common because they forget or will refuse to drink water. When talking to a dementia patient it is always good to use leading questions and conversation instead of anything that might be more like a command for instance.
Wow I'm really thirsty.
Do you think they have water here?
DO you think we could go get some?
Let it seem like there idea and they will be more responsive. Try to keep conversation short and simple they get confused very easily. Watch out for glare or windows that might cast a lot of shadows because it can be very frustrating or confusing. As far as colors never wear white dementia patients cant see white. So if your in a full white suit you will look like a floating head quite scary. Wear contrasting colors to reduce confusion. Black pants green shirt purple shirt ect.
If your stepfather has not tired it yet maybe try to take her to a boarding home or a retirement/assisted living home an there is always the option of a live in caregiver who is trained to work with dementia patients.
I hope this helps and if you need anything else you can e-mail me if you'd like. eawolfe22@hotmail.com

Can anyone explain why does one get frozen feet??
My feet are generally frozen...I get under 2 duvets, rub them, and after a few hours they are still cold...can anyone explain why does this happen??
Thanks
Answer:
Feet and toes are generally the coldest parts of the body because they are the farthest away from the heart. Ideally it would be helpful for you to increase the blood flow to your extremities through constant activity. Also look into foods that thin your blood to make it easier to pump, such as water and anything with sugar.
A temporary solution would be to put your feet in warm water, then progressively add hot water as your feet get acclimated to the temperature. Hope this helps!
cold feet is a sign of vitamin defficiency,or you are under stress,it is preferable that you consult a physician and get the proper treatment.but nothing to worry for.
When you find out, do let me know. I'm the exact same way. Hubby not too happy when I try to warm them up as he sleeps hot. ?
Thanks

Can anyone else shake their eyes?
For as long as I can remember, I have been able to shake my eyes. It looks, from other people's perspectives, like my eyes are vibrating from side to side. From my view, it looks lke I'm in an earthquake. I can do this whenever I feel like it, and it also tends to happen when I'm really concentrating on something, and/or if I'm tired. Anyone heard of this before, or know what it is?
Answer:
Cool!!!!
oooo i can {and i though i was a wirdo}
Nope, never heard of that! I can't imagine it being very good for your eyes, doesn't it make them ache?
ermm.. no i can't say i've ever had that lmao, but it sounds well cool !!
Don't know what this is called but I can do it anytime and it freaks people out. I'd love to see how it looks as I can't see it for myself.
Well, I can shake my one eyed snake,wanna see?
haha ya m cousin cna do that. and if you shine a light in her eyes they go really crazy and shake more..
no but its cool
I don't know what it is but i can do it as well. I tend to use it as a bit of a party trick though.
Its a strange feeling, the world does look as if it moving violently from side to side - if i do it for longer than 10 seconds i start to get a bit of a headache. so i try not to do it that much!
How did you find out you could do it?
lol
never heard of this before..
girl you got skills lol..
drop by sumtym and show me!!
Yes! My friend at school could do it and it was quite disturbing to watch! I think all it is, is you've managed to harness control over the muscles behind your eyes and send them into voluntary spasms. It's quite rare though, so it's a kinda unique talent to have!
I can partially dislocated my shoulders and hips...
yeah i can do the exact same thing. it sometimes happens when i'm tired too! never known anyone else who can do it ,people ask me to teach them but its like trying to teach someone to blink it 's just something i can naturally do.
I CAN. I CAN DO IT. I ALWAYS CAN DO IT. It all goes shaky and people go urrr and look away. I can scare people. i am scary to people. hahaha.
i can !

Can anyone else purposely 'pop' there ears?
I could purposely make my ears crackle, or 'pop'.
Answer:
Anybody can do that. Just hold your nose, blow air from your nose, and your ears will pop.
If you could do it without holding your nose, that would probably be unusual.
Most people can. You have to be able to to scuba dive.

Can anyone cite a legitimate study proving the "dangers" of second hand smoke?
I'm only interested in a controlled study that has been properly published and subjected to peer review.
.
Answer:
No, I can not cite a legitimate study, but think about this. The first few times that you are around people who smoke, the smoke happens to be right in your face, what do you do? Do you act as if every is normal ro even enjoy the smell of it, or does your eyes turn red possible even get watery and perphaps you even cough loudly? If the first is true in your case then most likely, there will not be a proven study on 2nd hand smoke. If the latter is true, then there is no need for a legitimate study on the dangers as these symptoms will only get more acute as the exposure continues.
Use a clean air filter in a room where only smoking is done and analyze the components that the filter catches.
Remember to put another one in a room with an automobile and test that one and find out which is worse being with a smoker for a day or breathing automobile fumes from one car in a day.
Maybe all those high death statistics from smokers on smoggie daze is from second hand smoke
Too bad all those econd hand smokers also smoke tailpipes perhaps second hand cigarette smoke saves cancer from second hand tail pipe smoke.
After all it is slightly more biodegradable
