Question 4

when will stiffness after liposuction go?

Accepted Answer

What do you mean?: If the "stiffness" is firmness under the skin where you had liposuction, it depends upon type (laser?).   Usually the firmness is actually induration from the normal healing response.  This can last for 8-12 weeks.  If you had laser it will last up to 6 months.

Question 6

what to do about really bad back cracking/stiffness/pain?

Accepted Answer

Many Possibilities: Depending on how long it's been going on, i would consider an evaluation by a spine specialist.  Sometimes it could be a muscle imbalance, early onset arthritis or scoliosis.  Also could be a pinched nerve/herniated disc.  Either way it might be good to figure it out and get appropriate treatment.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: morning stiffness?

Accepted Answer

Morning stiffness: We all have stiffness in the mornings.  However, morning stiffness that is clinically significant and relevant is stiffness that last more than 30 minutes and has been present for more than 3-6 weeks.  If this is the case, I recommend seeing a rheumatologist and would be happy to consult if needed.

Question 8

i have all over stiffness in my body even more in my shoulders, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: These are very general symptoms but i would first try taking some aleve, (naproxen) stretching, and lots of water. Avoid doing anything that aggravates your stiffness. Have you been doing hard manual labor or exercising a lot? If your urine is dark or brown, go to the er immediately.

Question 9

what to do if i am having stiffness in my spine is there any specific medicine which can help me?

Accepted Answer

You need a workup: There are a number of conditions, most of them benign,so it is difficult to guess.See someone you can trust and find out what is going on.

Question 10

a feeling of painful stiffness on the right side waist line comes and goes , especially when standing up.what might be the cause ?

Accepted Answer

A couple of things: That area has abdominal &amp; core muscles, ascending large colon, some small colon, lung/diaphragm, liver, gall bladder, ureter, kidney, &amp; is not too far from appendix &amp; ovary. I'm thinking pulled/strained muscle, but it could be "referred pain" rough translation "problem not where pain felt" which doesn't really help you. Keep an eye out for other clues. What makes it worse, better? Food? Fluid? BM?
