Question 2

hi docs, would drinking alcohol once a year affect muscle growth and development?

Accepted Answer

Not unless that: Drinking lasted most of the year.  Single episodes of alcohol consumption have very limited permanent effects, unless the person drinks to the point of alcohol poisoning or has severe underlying problems.  It certainly should not effect ultimate muscle growth. Some people are very sensitive and get muscle inflammation with even slight exposure, but this is rare.

hip/ butt muscle spasms on left side like charlie horse.  recent ms dx. possible symptom? very painful lasted 2 days already. suggestions?

Accepted Answer

SOME THOTS: Pain is very common in ms, and can present numerous ways, and even migraine is present in ms pts at a frequency of 2-4 times normals.  However, your muscle spasms could represent a separate process in hip, back, pelvis. (unlikely, but if you were given steroids, check for avascular necrosis in hip).  Lastly, do not want to second guess your doc, but there are oral meds now (no needles).

So consult your neurologist about ms and you.
