Varies: The extreme would be stiff man syndrome, but cramps and spasticity might be answer.  Parkinson's disease can cause rigidity, and tight muscles can be seen even in fibromyalgia.  See a neurologist, get examined, obtain diagnosis and then get treated.

Doctor can evaluate: There are a variety of treatments to help get a partial erection firmer, so an evaluation by the urologist is needed. There are external treatments like vacuum, and medications like viagra (sildenafil). One can work with the doctor to try out various treatments to see what works best.

Question 3

can you use cephalexin 500ng2x a day for longer than 2 weeks if leg infection from turf burn is still present? or does indicate that antibiotics not working? it is slowing healing, still have white in middle of wound and red outside still?

Accepted Answer

: Open abrasions can take a while to heal.  However if you have concerns about the healing process, please see the doctor who prescribed the antibiotics as a second opinion to yours.  Spreading redness or tenderness should prompt a sooner visit as infection may have progressed.

Question 4

what could cause longer than average healing times for injuries below the waist?

Accepted Answer

Slow healing: Slower than expected healing times can be due to poor circulation, diabetes, not enough Vitamin C in your diet, or overall poor health.

Question 5

treatment for fluorosis of teeths best painless longer lasting method?

Accepted Answer

Fluorosis: I am assuming you mean the esthetic treatment to mask the discoloration. Besides lowering the amount of Fluoride you are exposed to and treating any weakened tooth, there are multiple options depending on severity and location. Bonding, veneers or if needed even crowns if there is a lot of damaged tooth. Even bleaching may help blend. I would see a trained cosmetic dentist for your options.
