Answer 1

If treat & heals, Y: That is the objective of Orthopedic surgery and Physical Therapy--return to full function. Most injuries can be rehabbed back to work/play. See an Orthopedist for exam and course of action.

Answer 2

Shoulder evaluation: Your should see an orthopedic surgeon and let him/her evaluate your shoulder. He/She may recommend physical therapy or surgery depending on their evaluation. Whether you will be able to play volleyball or tennis again will depend on how you respond to your treatment. Only reevaluation after your treatment will determine whether you can resume your previous activities or not.

Answer 3

Carefully.: Unfortunately, fractures hurt and its hard to lift someone and without causing some discomfort from jostling the broken bones. If its an arm or leg, then you should splint it. If its a shoulder, spine, or pelvis/hip fracture, its hard to do it without some discomfort. "many hands make for light work", and when transferring someone on or off a stretcher, having more people to lift can help.

Answer 4

No: Hard lenses, or gas permeable contacts, may be just as comfortable to some people as soft lenses.

Answer 5

I think, yes: There is no doubt that initially, hard (gas permeable) lenses are more uncomfortable than soft lenses. Later, people are comfortable with them, but that takes time. There is an adaptation with gas perm lenses that is not present with soft lenses.

Answer 6

No: No. You should not feel any pain. You will not hear or feel the radiation treatment.

Answer 7

Usually not: Usually not however Diagnosing and treating this condition requires examination in person with a radiation oncology type care doctor

Answer 8

Radiation treatment: Sometime, can cause radiation burn, inflammation and pain. Sometimes, can cause bleeding, diarrhea., etc. Most tolerable.

Answer 9

Protect them: Assuming you have heel spurs, heel inserts in your shoes may help. Think of raising your heel farther away from the floor; this is why a shoe with a higher heel may feel better than a cushioned flat.

Answer 10

Heel pain: Often a diagnosis of 'heel spur' is given, when the pain from a bone spur isn't painful, it's the tendons/ligaments/entheses attached. Before jumping to a diagnosis, it's prudent to rule out nerve entrapment, piriformis syndrome, venous stasis (DVT), and a detailed history and physical including listening to heart and lungs. Often many docs inject/order inserts. Get a full eval from your doc

Answer 11

Depend on what hurts: A person who has some pain when moving from a sitting position to a standing position can see a doctor for evaluation. Some people have arthritis in their joints, and hurt when joints move. Other people have recent injuries, which hurt if moved. Athletes can get overuse symptoms in the knees and back, which hurt if moved. Internal (chest, abdomen, pelvis) pain can be a problem with organs inside.

Answer 12

Most likely you have: A disc relatd problem in your lower back as you cannot transition load from sitting to standing. The disc is a weight bearing structure allowing for spinal movement. You need to focus on core exercises and exercise in general while avoiding weight gain as well as smoking. If the symptoms persist, see your doctor for evaluation.
