Question 2

what's the purpose of a fibia?

Accepted Answer

Strength: Philosophical questions are the best! what is the purpose of an earlobe? An appendix? Armpit hair? Sadly, I have to stick to 400 characters. In the case of the fibia - it is our lateral calf-bone, and gives us strength to stand and jump, as well as a redundant bone in a lower (more vulnerable) part of our leg. In the old days, living or dying was determined by being able to run away - even injured.

Question 8

for my dinner for like 4 days in a week?

Not really: Studies have shown that severely restricting your calorie intake is not an effective means of weight loss or control, because in the long run it only makes you want to eat more.  The best way to control weight is to eat balanced meals and exercise regularly.

Question 9

what is the fibro scan?

Accepted Answer

Liver ultrasound: Fibroscan is a special type of liver ultrasound that can measure the stiffness of the liver, and is used to decide how much advanced hepatitis or cirrhosis may have damaged the liver in chronic disease. It is only helpful with chronic or advanced stages of liver disease, and does not reliably predict mild or moderate liver diseases, which can be assessed better by liver biopsy

Question 10

what else can you do for fibro pain?

Accepted Answer

Meds, et al: Fibromyalgia prescription drugs include gabapentin, lyrica, cymbalta, savella, (milnacipran) and perhaps some sleeping pills and analgesics.  But relaxation exercises, biofeedback, aerobic exercise, and improvement in sleep patterns, ail help substantially.  Visit a physiatrist or rheumatologist who has experience in the area.
