what does it mean , when an underweight person at the same height as a healthy individual has small bone like hands and feet does he have low bone mas?

Question

Easily get cold. It's 63 and my hands and feet are freezing. Hemoglobin =15 . Thyroid TSH 0.848 (which i was told is normal) causes? Not underweight

Answer 1

Not at all: Most likely the size of the hands and feet are genetic so you could ask your parents/grandparents about others in the family with similar sized hands/feet.

Answer 2

May be: a normal small person. If accompanied with any other symptoms consider evaluation for genetic abnormalities. If normal genetics consider weight lifting under supervision and exercise to improve muscle bulk.

Answer 3

Probably, NotCertain: Given limited information & the complexity of human body anatomy, this assessment likely has some accuracy. Since body anatomy, over time, usually adapts to body use & build in a effort to enable survival, low body weight/nutrition/demands for carrying body mass does not drive high bone mass. At the same time, external features do not always reflect internal structure for each individual. Why?

Answer 4

Yes: It is ok to bathe your baby, even with tender spots or a rash. However if your baby seems really uncomfortable you may want to make an appointment with your pediatrician. Remember babies do not need a bath every day- this could dry out their skin and make it prone to peeling or increased tenderness. Instead, bathe every 2-4 days.

Answer 5

Yes: Keeping the skin clean is especially important if the skin is irritated and cracked because germs can enter broken skin. Use a mild cleanser and rinse well, since soaps can irritate the skin further. Cover with a mild lotion or petrolatum jelly to moisturize the skin. If not getting better, see baby's doctor!

Answer 6

No.: You'll get burnt before the mites do.

Answer 7

No: This is more likely to result in thermal injury to your hands than actually killing all of the scabies mites. Topical Permethrin or oral Ivermectin are much more effective treatments.

Answer 8

About 2X risk: Sorry to hear about your dad.Being a donor doesn't change your risk. Multiple myeloma is not classically thought of as a familial/inherited cancer. However, the risk of a hematologic malignancy (mm, lymphoma, leukemia) in family members is thought to be about two times higher.

Answer 9

NCI Study...: An nci study is looking at characterizing families that may be at higher risk to identify causes: screening individuals and families at high risk for hematologic cancers nct00052234 http://clinicaltrials.Gov/ct2/show/nct00052234?Term=nct00052234&rank=1.

Answer 10

A Few Things: Low blood sugar and low blood pressure can be seen together in patients with sepsis, an addisonian crisis, some other things. The 2 don't necessarily go hand in hand. People with diabetes and other metabolic conditions will often have low blood sugar, but normal blood pressure. There are other conditions where blood pressure is low and sugars are normal like pots, etc.

Answer 11

Not usual for disk: With the muscular atrophy and neuritis, it might be best to undergo further testing. There are many possible causes, including diabetes, autoimmune, endocrine, to mention a few. At your age, a complete workup is indicated.

Answer 12

Maybe: However, bulging discs are usually normal findings . A further workup may be needed to rule out other sources such as a neuropathy ( which may have various causes like diabetes) or a higher level problem with your spine. You should see a neurologist for a detailed workup.

Answer 13

Many causes: Some common causes 1. Bulging disc 2. Diabetes 3. B12 anemia (alcohol) 4. Medication side effect 5. Nerve degeneration 6. Poor circulation.
