Question 1

have a complete tear of left flexor hallucis longus tendon. tear is in front of knot of henry. is surgery best or is something less invasive possible?

Accepted Answer

Experience counts.: It goes without saying that every patient's condition should be evaluated before applying general rules, but, if the laceration is distal (toward the toes)  to the knot of Henry, then surgical repair is probably best. Find an experienced surgeon.

Question 2

post traumatic stress disorder i have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, 2 times in my life by henry ford hospital.  if i go to a doctor, or therapist i'm sure there will be a third diagnoses.

what can i do to help me move through this.

Accepted Answer

Although : Although post traumatic stress disorder may resolve completely, it can also become more symptomatic with new traumas.   The three main categories of symptoms are avoidance, reliving and hyperarousal.  Avoidance is a hallmark symptom. You might want to avoid people, places, sounds, smells, events that trigger feelings or memories associated with the traumatic events.  Reliving can take the form of nightmares or during the daytime you may have memories of old traumas, or feel like you are back there again. The most significant form of reliving is called flashbacks.  These are vivid and the person actually believes they are back in their traumatic situation. It can be accompanied by hallucinations.  Hyperarousal means that you may be more reactive. You may have insomnia, be irritable, your heart rate might sore as if you were about to respond to danger when it isn't present. 
   The good news is that ptsd is treatable.  You might wish to see a therapist who is experienced in cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt) or cognitive processing  therapy (cpt).  Sometimes medications are indicated.  Medical acupuncture is also used to treat ptsd.

Question 3

my name is henry i had a hemorrhagic brain stem stroke 12 months ago. my recovery had been going very well until five months when spasticity set in. i have been taking baclofen and i tried tizanidine but the spasticity been growing progressively w?

Accepted Answer

: A few approaches may be helpful.  BOTOX injections can be considered.  Physical therapy does help, on an ongoing basis.  Consult a neurosurgeon if not currently done.  Find a rehab doctor, physiatrist if not yet involved.

Question 4

feet :
knot of henry
planta fisha

metatarsalgia small bones around big toe and ball of foot very inflamed & grating will fracture unless rested op?

Accepted Answer

Confusing: Not sure what your question is, but if you have tendonitis at the master knot of henry, plantar fasciitis, sesamoiditis and metatarsalgia all on the same foot you need rest! and a lot of it!

Question 5

child below one year we can give them honey?

Accepted Answer

We don't in the US: I know some fare east cultures like to offer honey as a ritual celebration & wish for success. However, there are often spores(seeds) of botulism germs in the product that can grow in a babies digestive tract and cause infant botulism.This can cause paralysis of the breathing muscle & baby can die. We don't offer honey until after 1yr when it is no longer a problem.

Question 6

can we give honey to 6 month boy? is there any benefit of honey?

Accepted Answer

Please don't give: Honey to an infant due to risk of developing botulism.

Question 7

is it ok to touch honey then touch baby? how careful do we need to be?

Accepted Answer

: Is honey a substance or an animal?

Question 8

what to do if i heard that iq decreases by aging but can we increase it ?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: You are probably referring to the general tendency for a global decline in cognitive function that occurs with age, whether or not there is alzheimer's  dementia.  Part of this is related to the decline in neuronal cell number that occurs as a process of programmed cell death (apoptosis). All of the studies demonstrate that exercise is the one thing that somehow attenuates this process.

Question 9

i cough heavily - especially in the morning. this has been an issue for 2 months. we live in the free state where it is dry?

Accepted Answer

2 months is long: If some cough is just from a mild cold, then OTC cold medicines are what people usually find relief with. However, some illnesses such as asthma, allergies, strep throat and "the flu" also have these same cough symptoms, but can be treated by a doctor with additional medicines. A chronic cough of 2 months can be infection, allergies, asthma, cancer, etc... Older adults should rule out cancer.

Question 10

hello dr, yesterday we heard my baby's heartbeat and it fluctuates till 180bpm then went down to it is  usual value which is 158bpm.is that fine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That sounds perfect. There are fluctuations depending how active he/she is. The baseline number is normal. All the best and enjoy your baby.
