Question 1

Over the past year i have been experiencing pain in my shins when i do breast stroke in swimming, i've never had growing pain so im not sure what it it?

Accepted Answer

shin pain in breaststrokers is common and means you are getting a complete kick. It is basically a shin splint .
 stand on a step, heel only on... most of the rest of your foot hanging off. Tie a weight to the toe of your shoe, and do weighted toe raises. Allow the foot to extend down, then point contract the foot to point the toes as high as they'll go. Hold at the top, and compress  shin muscle.

Question 2

I swim overarm and my sister swims breast-stroke. we were wondering which stroke burns off the most calories?

Accepted Answer

How much energy is used for types of strokes-- the more energy the more calories burned.

Question 3

1/2 hour slow breast stroke daily for 3 months. start to have bilateral golfers elbow 1 month ago. how can that happen? have to stop swimming?

Accepted Answer

Elbow pain associated with swimming breast stroke may signal overuse and/or improper technique. Suggest a coach to watch your stroke and add any needed corrections. You can also incorporate other strokes in your workout, such as freestyle. Days off or cross training with cycling will allow for recovery of overused joints.

Question 4

Fibrocystic breasts 15+ years. can't take hormonal bc (stroke risk). vit e/primrose/massage/no caffeine/diet no help. other options for managing pain?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, there isn't any magic pill or method for you to alleviate your discomfort except one- Get fitted for a superior brassiere that can support your breasts which can eliminate the pain of "bouncing". If that is not affordable, consider an inexpensive breast binder for those more difficult days.

Question 5

What to do about testicle pain after swimming breast stroke?

Accepted Answer

Strain of inner thigh muiscles and lower abdomen could radiate to testicles and cause pain. If so, then you need rest and less exertion during swimming. Sudden groin pain in men with swelling of the scrotum, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are symptoms of testicular torsion, which is a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you experience these symptoms.

Question 6

What to do if i'm 17 (turning 18 in the summer) and i want a breast reduction. will i have a heart attack or stroke?

Accepted Answer

If you are generally healthy, you should not have a high risk for heart attack or stroke from your surgery.  Anyone undergoing anesthesia, does have some risk, though.

Question 7

Should i take progesterone therapy for adenomyosis if i have a strong family history of stroke, breast cancer, and migraines with aura?

Accepted Answer

We can not really provide very specific guidance in unique cases such as this. A discussion with your obgyn is warranted discussing the various options, the risks and the benefits.

Question 8

My granddaughter is 6 mts old with in utero stroke and wts 5.2 kg. constipation is an issue. she is breast fed. no bm x4 days. dosage for miralax (polyethylene glycol)?

Accepted Answer

If your daughter is breastfed she can have a stool with each feeding, go once a day or go aslong as a week without having one. All this is normal and not considered constipation and as such MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) is not needed.

Question 9

Dad had a stroke jan, in hospital they done vascular scan neck lack of blood going to brain so had op he now dizzy alltime an got lump ribs by breast ?

Accepted Answer

Carotid surgery doesn't generally cause dizziness but his underlying  cerebrovascular disease might. Strokes involving the cerebellum (which is not supplied by the carotids) cause intense dizziness. I simply cannot think of anyway that carotid surgery or stroke would cause a lump on the chest which seems to be a separate issue.

Question 10

What are the benefits of getting a breast reduction?

Accepted Answer

Large breasts get in the way and may cause discomfort. Lower neck, upper back, shoulder and breast pain are often significantly reduced or eliminated with breast reduction. Shoulder rutting from bra straps and under breast rashes are also eliminated. Breast reduction surgery reduces the risk of breast cancer. Clothes fit better, exercise is easier and women feel better about themselves.
