Can anyone tell me a site that shows a picture of methadone tablets. My doctor is going to put me on them.?
I want to know what it looks like and how big it is. I have a terrible time getting pills to go down!
Answer:

It shouldn't matter. Just crush it up or cut it in half.
Don't worry about it. Methadone tablets come in lots of sizes and colors, but the good news for you is that you have to dissolve them and drink the fluid anyway. That's just how you take it, so don't worry about getting the pills down.
http://www.pharmascience.com/pms_en/heal... has all kinds of them.
you can also go to a site that not only shows you the medication but full write up complete with side effects.go to http://www.medlineplus.org
It all depends on what pharmacy produces the methadone. I've worked in Chemical Dependency for 33 years and have seen many different varieties of this medication. They have pill cutters that you can use to divide the pill into 2 or 4 pieces if you have difficulty swallowing them. Dont forget to ask your doctor for instructions on how and when to take this med.

Can anyone take a guess as to what is wrong with my shoulder?
I typically avoid playing sports. However, I discovered racquetball and loved it so I joined a league and played about once a week for a year or so. At some point my shoulder started hurting. As the weeks progressed, the pain would last longer and longer, until it would hurt for almost the entire week leading up to the next game. There was no moment while playing where I can recall hitting a wall too hard or any sort of sudden "YEOW!" moment. I took a break for a couple of weeks, yet when i came back it hurt within a couple of swings. I went to a family physician and he guessed it was probably tendinitis. I went to my college's trainer, who looked at it very briefly and guessed tendinitis as well. I then quit the league, and probably hadn't played in a month until I played a casual tennis games with some friends, leading to pain within the first swing. I don't think it's tendinitis. Keep in mind, I almost NEVER played sports my entire life and I'm only 24 years old.
Answer:
I would guess either Rotator cuff dysfunction with a possible small tear, a labral tear, or impingment.Explanation: Rotator cuff dysfunction is like tendinitis of one or more of the shoulder muscles and can result from either overuse or misuse. The muscle is inflammed and probably a little frayed. It can sometimes calm down with rest but may require physical therapy or worst case scenario - surgery. A labral tear is a disruption of the ring of cartilage (labrum) around the socket part of the ball and socket joint of the shoulder. It can be degenerative (happened over a period of time) or traumatic (happened suddenly). This won't get better with rest or therapy, usually only surgery.Impingement is kinda like the precursor to rotator cuff problems. The canal where one of the muscles passes is small and causing the muscle and bursa (fluid filled sack that reduces friction) to get irritated. This can improve with therapy or a steroid injection.I recommend seeing a Primary Care Sports Physician or an Orthopedist.
I did something like that a while back. I waited a while before going to the doctor because it just hurt. I went there about a week later and got x-rays. I turned out that i had fractured my collorbone near the shoulder. I would get x-rays if i were you or get an mri
GOOD LUCK!
Go to a doc that specializes in sports injuries, you could have a rotor cuff problem.

Can anyone suggest a treatment for a 3 year old girl born immature and not able to sit on her own??
My brother has a daughter of 3 years old who was borm immature and still she cannot sit on her own.Treatment is going on and now she is tring move and is able to sit with a support.Because of this he is very stressed and don't know what to do so that she is able to walk on her own.
Answer:
The only option is continual physical therapy to practice different muscular and brain coordination activities. There is no magic cure. You can't change some birth defects. You just start where you are, and work with that. Line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little.. Rejoice in what victories you do have. And don't worry about what "might be".
I am so sorry. You didn't give a diagnosis? was it CP?
I suggest looking for another doctor.
I agree, premature borns are usually a bit slower with motor skills but at 3 she should be atleast sitting without support. Please encourage him to have her checked out by another pediatrician
you mean premature?
I think u should see some other pediatrician and she needs physiotherapy.

Answer:
if u r in south india than go to T-nagar, chennai, and meet dr sankar who done phd in accupuncture, i got treatment for my uncle's daughter for the same problem, now she is alright, god bless her
I don't know about treatment, but there is a seat called "bumbo" which babies can sit in and be upright even before they are old enough to do it on their own. You can get them at places like BabiesRUs or Target.
do you mean born PRE mature??
I take it she is seen at a hospital for any problems she has, they will know best when she will get control and be able to sit unaided.
My daughter was born with a growth problem and she was late sitting up, she sat at 1yr though. With your neice it's going to be a case of wait and see how she developes, and hopefully she will be able to sit alone and eventually walk
just calm down..
Leave it to God she has had enough treatement I think... when now she can sit using support, she would herself gradually gain the venture in to without supports. just wait for the moment. It would take a time. But time is the best medicine. Just take care of her and shower all love. We pray to GOD, so that she gets well versed soon.
get her a boppy pillow, it will help her sit up on her own without someone right there.
Hi, I'm not sure of a treatment but there are special chairs now that are made of foam where kids 8-12 months old can sit in.Perhaps they make them for older children? OR the company may take a more custom order.
she need daily systematic physio therapy treatment from good physiotherapist. i personally saw a case whose same problem is solved (but near about 3 to 4 year that father came regularly

Can anyone share their opinion on CIGNA health insurance or compare it to BC/BS?
Answer:
I prefer Cigna to BC/BS. I work as a medical biller dealing with insurance companies all day. My experience shows that Cigna offers more in terms of procedures covered, prescription benefits, and availiable providers. BC/BS offers lower premiums, but usually with a high deductible and limited prescription benefits.
I like Cigna better than BC/BS. BC/BS questions more things and you have to call them to make sure they cover routine things like allergy medicines. I was not happy with them.Cigna has been better and their premiums are lower than they were with BC/BS.
Can anyone identify an knee injury?
Hi i have been skating for a while now and i continue to ride regular which means my left leg is in front well whenever i fall it happens to be on my left knee which resulted in a pop in my knee whenever i bend it. I have about 6 scars on the left side of my knee from each injury.
Answer:
You may have the same problem I have. I have a disease known as Osgood-Schlatters Disease. I have the exact same problem. I have been to the doctor about it. It is something you can inherit from somewhere in your family. It cannot be healed. You just learn to live with it. It gets better over time. My mother is 37 and still has it from when she was 14. She says as you get older the less painful it becomes. Osgood Schlatters disease is a very common cause of knee pain in everyone. It is a condition where the bony protrusion below the knee (called the tibial tuberosity or tubercle) becomes inflamed, painful and swollen.I hope this helped!
It could be nothing, depedning on your pain levels.Or you might have dislodged some cartilage, or developed tendinitis in the patellar tendon. Best to get an x ray or MRI by a doctor.
well the fact that it makes a popping sound when you bend it means that the knee could be slightly out of alignment because the cartilage are obstructing the movement of the joint which would result in the popping sound. you should get it checked out by a doctor to try correct the problem as to prevent further damage.
