Question 1

what are the major issues surrounding pain?

Accepted Answer

Disability: Pain is an objective complaint that is often poorly understood by others and is frequently poorly explained by the sufferer. Its cause may not be obvious in a lot of cases, creating fear, medical attention, extensive and expensive work up and sometimes treatment. Economic and emotional repercussions are substantial.

Question 2

is there an age limit for having an eecp?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Patients have to meet the criteria (not just age criteria) of the eecp center and of the cardiologist referring patients for treatment. One center states that it has treated patients ages 30-95 years old.

Question 3

how are patients limited by achondroplasia?

Accepted Answer

They aren't limited,: Their height is. Yes, there are things that are difficult for them (such as reaching their pockets) but there are very few things of which they are incapable.

Question 4

what is upper and lower limit for bp?

Accepted Answer

Blood Pressure: In general-   the top number (systolic) should be between 90 &amp; less than 120 &amp; the bottom number (diastolic) should be between 60 &amp; less than 80.

Question 5

how long should i limit my workout to?

Accepted Answer

No perfect answer: No perfect answer... Remember damage occurs during the work-out, growth occurs with healing.  Without adequate rest you won't get growth.  I generally tell people not to work the same muscle groups more than 2-3 times per week, and if intensely training, possibly less.  Then again, cardio and even light circuit training can be done daily.

Question 6

what is the age limit to get circumsized?

Accepted Answer

No limits: Usually done at birth, as a custom. Pain associated with the procedure needs to be managed in older children/adults.

Question 7

why can't i ask questions is there a limit?

Accepted Answer

As with all things..: "everything in moderation" applies to all things in life.  There is no limit as long as one lives by that philosophy.  For regular, free, public questions, they should be less than 150 characters.  If a member is asking the same or similar question over and over and over, doctors will see that the question has already been answered and are not likely to re-answer it.

Question 8

129 value mg. is that over the legal limit?

Accepted Answer

Legal limit for what: We need more info. Better yet, you can get that info by reading test result which should include normal reference range. If your 129 is higher than "normal", then you're most likely over legal limit for whatever it is you were tested. Best answer is to ask physician who ordered test or gave you results.

Question 9

nevermind.  cannot ask with limited characters

Accepted Answer

Ok: Ok, but please try again. We'd like to help!

Question 10

will certain exercises limit this from spreading?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Keep what from spreading? Your waist, hips and bottom? Yes, yes, and yes!
