    Before having kids, I had very idealist visions of what our lives would be like. Our family would be the perfectly healthy family. What we ate would be carefully scrutinized. Fresh fruits, tons of veggies, lean meats and whole grains would be on the table at every meal. What we did during our leisure time would also be closely mapped out and monitored. Lots of fresh air, exercise and family outings like picnics, hiking and biking together would consume our weekends. And of course, things like keeping the kids spotless and myself looking hip and put-together every day made the list too. Yes, I…

    Most of the time, those of us who live with chronic pain befriend and are related to individuals who try to understand why we feel what we do, but not always. There seems to be an unwritten rule that we run into insensitive nitwits when we do not feel like dealing with them. Do we become magnetic when we’re having a down day or a rough time? “Come one, come all, jump into my business, and feel free to ask me hyper-personal questions about my health, my body, and my private life!” Quite often, unfortunately, relationships suffer from this degree of insensitivity exhibited by others, and…

I chuckled of course, because it was so unexpected, asked her where she heard that word, and she said her Mom had told her what et cetera meant.

    In a highly functioning body, the neuro-myoskeletal system hangs in dynamic equilibrium, with each part balancing the other. But when a woman wears high heels, a new dynamic equilibrium occurs. If one single body part becomes fixed, the whole system must compensate with altered movement patterns, resulting in kinetic “chain” kinks. Last week while going through TV channels, I happened to catch some interesting gossip from a cheesy entertainment show reporting that Stefani Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga, was being treated for low-back pain at a local physical therapy clinic.

    It’s easy to point fingers at “bad” mothers who make questionable choices about the health of their kids (ahem, Tanning Mom), but the truth is that many of us learned what we know about nutrition, fitness, and taking care of our amazing female bodies from none other than our own mother. And even if you didn’t have a mom full of great advice, it’s never too late to hear what other great mamas have to say. So, as Mother’s Day approaches, here’s some really valuable, real-world health advice from Mom. Often, we get bogged down in the negative and blame…

  • Why You Shouldn’t Have Sex When You Don’t Want To

    TheGloss
    9 May 2012 | 9:00 am
    Go take a look inside a few women’s magazine on the newsstands right now, and I guarantee that in at least one of them, you will find the following admonishment: to have sex even when you don’t want to, because it’s good for you. The more insulting versions of this sentiment are that you should have sex when you don’t want to because it’s good for your partner (they’re typically referring to your male partner), or because it’s good for your relationship. Well, I’m here to tell you this: Having sex when you don’t want to isn’t good for anyone. Not your partner, not your…

  • Confessions Of Motherhood: 10 Unhealthy Things I Swore I Would Never Do (But Did Anyway)

    Deborah Dunham

    Before having kids, I had very idealist visions of what our lives would be like. Our family would be the perfectly healthy family. What we ate would be carefully scrutinized. Fresh fruits, tons of veggies, lean meats and whole grains would be on the table at every meal. What we did during our leisure time would also be closely mapped out and monitored. Lots of fresh air, exercise and family outings like picnics, hiking and biking together would consume our weekends. And of course, things like keeping the kids spotless and myself looking hip and put-together every day made the list too. Yes, I…

  • Mom’s Disturbing Face Makes Us Wonder: Does Excessive Tanning Mean Mental Health Issues?

    Deborah Dunham
    3 May 2012 | 10:07 am
    Yesterday’s story about the New Jersey mom who was accused of taking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth had a lot of you enraged. Aside from questioning what type of parent Patricia Krentcil must be, some questioned her state of mind–just look at her, right? She’s only 44, but could easily pass for decades older. Clearly she is not taking good care of her skin–and possibly her daughter’s, but does excessive tanning mean she must have mental health issues? You tell us. One dermatologist, Doris Day, told ABC News that she likely suffers from…

    Katherine Stone will be the first person to tell you that most people don’t know enough about postpartum depression. In fact, she admits she didn’t know much about it either. That’s why, when it hit her after the birth of her first child nine years ago, she was completely caught off guard. She went from feeling “normal” before her pregnancy to feeling like a horrible “monster” afterward. She even admits to having thoughts about being so inadequate that she worried she may drown her son. Now, Stone is on a mission to help remove the societal stigma…

    Spinal stenosis is closely associated with degenerative arthritis of the spine, and can be very difficult to live with.  As with many other back and neck conditions, diagnosing it early can help manage it successfully over time. But the diagnosis process is not always straightforward.  According to Dr. Mark Ebell, Senior Editor of Essential Evidence Plus, a website that helps clinicians make evidence-based decisions, spinal stenosis "is a tough diagnosis to make". In an Essential Evidence Plus POEM, Dr. Ebell summarized and commented on a 2010 systematic review of medical literature…

    Did your doctor say you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)?  That's a diagnosis. A diagosis generally tells a symptom.  For instance, if you have appendicitis that means you have an inflammed appendix.  Why?  Don't know.  But the doctor says let's fix the appendix by removing it.  And in that case, that is probably the best thing to do. But that's not often the case with pain in hands, arms and wrists.

The answer to both questions is (drumroll, please) muscles!  Plain old everyday muscles.  Why? The job of muscles is to move your bones.  Bones go nowhere without muscles.  So muscles are pretty busy. But sometimes we use muscles in ways that make them 'too tight.'  Or we use them so little that they become weak.  Then we have muscle imbalance and that is a big cause of pain.

Speaking of symptoms...that is what you feel; a symptom.  If you have a bunch of symptoms, then it is called a syndrome. Your symptoms may feel like burning, numbness, tingling or pain.

Lumbar pain, which is very common during pregnancy, occurs in the low back, at the level of, or slightly higher than, the waist.  Around 50 to 70 percent of pregnant women experience such type of pain at any point between conception and childbirth, but can be more troublesome in the late pregnancy.
