lap chole monday, ct - admitted obv, having uncontrolled intermittent ruq and midsternal muscle spasms/contraction uncontrolled by morphine 4 ivp?

Question

A patient who is diagnosed with mi, he is anxious and restless would u give him morphine 2 mg ivp ?

Answer 1

What is your questio: What did the CT show ??? It sounds like you have a bile leak or developing abscess. If the initial CT was Neg. / or equivocal then it should be repeated Could also be a leak from the Sm. or Lg. Bowel

Answer 2

Indirectly: Prolonged exposure to high blood glucose can mostly cause nerve damage. One type is peripheral neuropathy which can cause numbness and tingling (painful), another is focal neuropathy which affects specific nerves. There are other types as well. Patients with high blood sugar also are at increased risk of developing tendonitis/bursitis/joint pain. These could indirectly cause muscle pain.

Answer 3

Dehydration: If you've become dehydrated as a result of chronically elevated blood sugars you may also need to consider how that could affect your muscle. Rhabdomyolysis can occur in people who are dehydrated regardless of cause. Patients will often notice their urine might have a brownish color to it. If you have muscle pain, please see your doctor. Other things also have to be considered.

Answer 4

Braces: Braces have positives and negatives. If you have ligament damage it can protect your joint from further damage. Bracing a painful joint may lead to weak muscles around the joint. Have a good exam by your physician or an orthopedic surgeon, a specialist in bone and joint disease. Any brace should be designed for a specific joint issue, along with instructions on how to keep it healthy.

Answer 5

Fit and Stability: There are many different types of "over the counter " knee braces available at your local pharmacy. If you have had a mild ligament injury a neoprene sleeve with flexible side stays and velcro straps would be helpful. Patients with more significant arthritis often benefit by use of a neoprene hinged knee brace. The brace should fit snug but not tight

Answer 6

Have it checked: It's best to he a vascular ultrasound to rule out a popliteal aneurysm or an avm.

Answer 7

Popliteal aneurysm : The only pulsating object in proximity to the knee is the popliteal artery. Usually this is not easily felt. If it is then it may need further evaluation with an ultrasound, especially if you have a history of other aneurysms.

Answer 8

Unsure: I suspect that you need to see a vascular specialist as this is not normal and needs to be further evaluated.

Answer 9

Get checked: Ultrasound will give answer usually. Easy test.

Answer 10

No: A pulled muscle or perhaps costochondritis can not cause you to have a heart attack. But if you have underlying heart disease, i suggest you have an evaluation from a cardiologist and perhaps have a stress test.

Answer 11

Not likely: Musculoskeletal pain may mimic ischemic chest pain. Thus history and exam can usually provide an answer and thereby avoid costly testing.

Answer 12

Probably not.: Musculoskeletal chest pain and coronary artery disease are very different diseases. Both are associated with chest discomfort, but of different quality.

Answer 13

No: Biliary dyskinesia is not associated with weight gain.

Answer 14

Perhaps the opposite: Perhaps weight gain, from e.g. Excess fat calories is worsening your gallbladder symptoms. The surgery should not cause weight gain, nor the post surgery.

Answer 15

Not directly: Weight gain is not related to a gallbladder condition, but related to a person's diet, calorie intake, and physical activities. I have had patients who feel better after gallbladder surgery & then eat more, resulting indirectly in weight gain after surgery. This does not occur in everyone.
