Regarding: Orthopedic Surgery
While attempting a step aerobics workout that I hadn\'t done in over 5 years, I developed a limp in the days that followed and eventually ended up in the ER with severe pain and inabiity to move my hip/leg. My dr diagnosed me with hip bursitis and since I\'ve received 3 injections in my hip. It\'s been over 3 months and I am still unable to walk without pain and without the use of crutches or cane. I was a very active 39 year old woman and this has affected my job and my ability to be a mother to my daughter. The bursitis pain has subsided but the buttock and thigh pain and swelling are still very bad. Could the mri (which showed no labral tear) have missed a torn gluteus medius? The reason is my pt mentioned that my pain seems to be coming from that area. I was also referred to a spine doctor due to the back mri which showed mild bilateral foraminal stenosis. Any advice you can offer or specialist you can refer me to would be so helpful. I do not know wher to turn and am concerned about loosing my job which supports my family. Please help. |
| Answer |
From: Steven Jordan MD
Tear of the hip abductors (gluteus medius and minimus) is certainly a possibility. The MRI should pick it up. The question is if the person reading the MRI looks closely for it. I would recommend a 2nd opinion with an Orthopaedic surgeon experienced in hip surgery (some "Sports Medicine Docs are not) |

Regarding:
About 3 years ago I lost like 25 lbs and felt great! I kept it off for about a year...then the hurricans hit an we had to eat everything out of the freezer ;-) Over about a 6 month period, I gained 20 lbs. I also turned 50 last September and my metabolism must have changed. Now it seems no matter what I do, I watch what I eat, but I'm not fanatical about it, I joined a gym and went alot for about 6 months.....nothing seems to work. I lost about 10 lbs, but I can't seem to get rid of the other 10, no matter what I do. Any suggestions? I am 5'7, 145. I know this is not tremendous, but for someone who was never over 110 lbs their entire life (until they got pregnant)...I feel like a fat cow!!!! |

Regarding: Computers
I have a wirless router for my small network at hope. D-Link WBR2310. How do I make it secure. There are 3-4 wirless in my area and wish to make mine pass word protected. |
| Answer |
From: Gordon Foster
Your router should have a standard IP address (i.e. 192.168.0.1) username, and password (provided in booklet with the router). Every router is slightly different in these set ups. Typing the IP address into your internet browser will open the software inside the router and will usually prompt you for a user name and password. Once you are pass this prompt, the "Wireless Security" section of this software will allow you to create a password protected network (WPA) or a hexdecimal key passcode (WEP). Today's modern routers have a one-button set up built into the router that will access the software for you and guide you through the set up. |

Regarding: Orthopedic Surgery
Where can I go to have synvisc, orthovisc or supartz injected in my shoulder for mu arthritis. surgery isn't needed and I do not want to take celebrex. |
| Answer |
From: Steven Jordan MD
These injections are not FDA indicated for the shoulder, therefore you would need to find someone willing to do it as an "off label use." Because of our litiginous society and so many people looking to hit lotto by sueing their doctor, you may have a hard time. You might choose to either live with it or take the Celebrex and get some relief. |

Regarding:
I HAVE A REVOCABLE TRUST. TO ADD OR MAKE ANY CHANGES. DOES IT HAVE TO HAVE NOTARY AND WITNESS. |
| Answer |
From: Halsey Smith
Dear John, Changes to trusts, known as "amendments" and "amendments and restatements," must be executed with the same formality as the original document. This means that they need to be witnessed and notarized. Hopefully, you are using a licensed attorney to make the changes to your trust. He or she will arrange to have the changes executed properly when you go in to sign your amendment. If you are not using a licensed attorney to change your trust, I strong recommend that you reconsider that approach and seek counsel. Ohterwise, you might make a change that could invalidate your entire estate plan. |
