Question 1

Accepted Answer

: Your GP would be best to discuss your medical needs with. No such letters can be issued on this platform otherwise.

Question 2

can u develop freckles later in life?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Freckles, also called ephiledes occur on sun exposed skin and are a response to sun exposure and can occur at any age. People with fair skin color, lighter hair and light eyes are more likely to develop freckles. In addition, freckles that already are present may get darker with sun exposure.

Question 3

can lunber tap pain last for several weeks?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't: I assume you are talking about a post-dural puncture headache caused after a spinal tap.  If so, the resulting headache usually lasts only a few days.  If symptoms persist despite adequate hydration and analgesic treatment, you could consider a blood patch.  A blood patch is the placement of some of your own blood in the epidural space near the source of the CSF leak.

Question 4

what is a lumber spasm?what is lumber spasm?

Accepted Answer

Lumbar spasm: Lumbar spasm is when the muscles supporting your spinal cord freeze up or "spasm."  it is diagnosed clinically which means based on symptoms with no imaging studies needed.

Lumbar spasm can be very painful and make it difficult to walk.  It may takes 1-5 days to resolve and usually responds best to heat, massage and acetaminophen.

Question 5

good day, i need assistance with a dr letter?

Accepted Answer

Dr. exam, then note: A doctor can write a note after doing an in-person exam. Generally, doctors do not write notes (such as work-excuse or school-excuse notes, or back-to-work or back-to-school notes) without an exam. That is because a doctor's note is his written, signed, professional opinion, on whether a patient should or can do a particular activity. An in-person exam gives confidence to the doctor's opinion.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

No: Color blindness is a genetic defect and does not develop later in life.

Question 9

is wearing a jogging bra going tohelp 30 years later?
