Based on the mri findings of your cervical spine, here are some observations and potential implications: mild lateral curvature of cervical spine with convexity of left side: this indicates a slight sideways curvature of the cervical spine, which may be contributing to your shoulder pain and other symptoms. Mild marginal osteophytes: osteophytes are bony growths that can develop along the edges of the vertebrae in response to degenerative changes in the spine. They can sometimes cause compression of nearby structures, leading to pain and other symptoms. Mild disc osteophyte complexes at c4-c5, c5-c6 levels: this refers to the presence of bone spurs and associated disc degeneration at specific levels of the cervical spine (cervical vertebrae 4-5 and 5-6). These changes may be contributing to compression of the thecal sac (the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord) and abutment of the spinal cord itself. Hydrosyringomyelia: this is a condition characterized by the presence of fluid-filled cavities (syrinx) within the spinal cord. In your case, it appears to be extending from the cervical to the dorsal (upper back) levels of the spinal cord. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, weakness, and sensory disturbances. Crowding at foramen magnum with mild tonsillar herniation: the foramen magnum is the opening at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord passes. Crowding at this location, along with tonsillar herniation (where the lower part of the cerebellum extends below the opening), can sometimes lead to compression of the spinal cord and related symptoms. Based on these findings, it's important to consult with a neurologist or spine specialist who can provide a comprehensive evaluation and recommend the most appropriate treatment options. Treatment may involve a combination of medications for pain management, physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility, and possibly surgical intervention depending on the severity of symptoms and underlying pathology. In terms of what you can do: follow the recommendations of your healthcare provider regarding pain management, activity modification, and any prescribed treatments. Consider seeking a second opinion from a spine specialist or neurosurgeon to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of your condition and all available treatment options. Avoid activities that exacerbate your symptoms or put strain on your neck and spine. Maintain good posture and ergonomics to minimize stress on your cervical spine. Stay informed about your condition and ask questions during your medical appointments to ensure you understand your treatment plan and prognosis.

Pushups this one may seem basic, but there’s no denying that pushups are one of the best ways to strengthen the pectoral muscles. These can be done on the knees or toes. If you’re not ready for full pushups, start with your hands resting on a solid surface higher than your feet — like a very sturdy coffee table or the edge of a couch, cushions removed, that’s pressed up against a wall — and start on the toes. Having your hands higher than your feet and your body at an angle can be a good way to start a pushup regimen. As you get stronger, you can begin to lower the angle of your body. This will help you transition to full pushups more easily than going from knees to toes. A full plank engages the muscles differently, even at an angle. When doing pushups, aim for 2 sets of 10 reps per day. 1.start in plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your core engaged. 2.as you lower, inhale. 3.as you engage your muscles to push yourself up, exhale. Keep your elbows hugging in close to your body. Keep your focus on slowly breathing as you do these, and on engaging the pectorals while keeping the core tight. Don’t just crank these out to get them done — this can compromise your form and do more harm than good. If the movement is really tough, break the sets into three or five to start, or find a higher point to begin after a week of exercise. If necessary, you can even stand and do pushups pushing against a wall. Chest fly for this exercise, you’ll need a bench or exercise ball as well as some dumbbells. If you don’t have weights, you can always use the old standby: a soup can in each hand. Just keep in mind that dumbbells are easier to hold and you can get more out of using them, as even 5-pound weights are heavier than your heaviest canned goods. 1.lie with your upper and middle back on a bench or ball, with your legs at a 90-degree angle. Hold a weight in each hand and extend your arms to the sky, elbows slightly bent. 2.as you inhale, lower your arms out wide, until your elbows are at shoulder height. 3.as you exhale, raise your hands until they meet above your chest again. 4.do 2 sets of 10. If that feels pretty easy, up it to 2 sets of 15 or increase the weight you’re using. Dumbbell row strengthening your back muscles is an important component of treating pectusexcavatum. The dumbbell row targets your lat muscles. The way it’s described below also strengthens your core, another important component of treating the condition. You’ll need some dumbbells to complete this move — err on the lighter side if you’ve never done a row before. 1.hold one dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended. Hinge at the hips until your upper body reaches a 45-degree angle. 2.keeping your neck in line with your spine and your gaze straight down, pull your elbows straight back and squeeze between your shoulder blades. 3.extend your arms back to the starting position. Complete 2 sets of 10. Dumbbell rear delt fly another move to strengthen your back, a dumbbell rear delt fly also focuses on the lats, as well as the rhomboids and the traps. Choose a light pair of dumbbells to complete this move and ensure that you’re pinching your shoulder blades together at the top to get the most out of it. 1.hold one dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended. Hinge at the hips until your upper body reaches a 45-degree angle and bring the dumbbells together. 2.keeping your spine and neck neutral, inhale and push the dumbbells out and up to the side until your arms are parallel to the floor. 3.exhale and return to the start in a slow and controlled motion. Complete 2 sets of 10. Exercise is a key component to treating pectusexcavatum. By strengthening your chest, back, and core muscles and stretching your chest cavity, you can combat the condition’s effects. Aim to complete these exercises several times a week to maximize results. Anterior pelvic tilt 1.lie on the back with the knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. 2.squeeze the buttocks and tilt the pelvis upward. 3.the back should feel as though it is flattening to the ground. 4.return to normal pelvis position. 5.repeat 10–12 times.

Whether you should get surgery for your sideways-growing wisdom tooth depends on several factors, and determining the best course of action requires professional guidance. However, I can provide some information to help you understand your options: reasons for surgery: pain: if your wisdom tooth is causing you pain, especially recurring or severe pain, surgery to remove it is often the recommended course of action. Wisdom teeth growing sideways can irritate gum tissue and surrounding teeth, leading to discomfort. Infection: sideways-growing wisdom teeth are more prone to infection due to difficulty cleaning them properly. Infections can cause significant pain, swelling, and other complications, necessitating surgery. Damage to other teeth: sideways-growing wisdom teeth can push against neighboring teeth, causing crowding, misalignment, and even damage. Removing them can prevent these issues. Cyst formation: in some cases, sideways-growing wisdom teeth can lead to the formation of cysts, which are fluid-filled sacs that can damage the jawbone and surrounding teeth. Cysts typically require surgical removal. Alternatives to surgery: monitoring: if your wisdom tooth isn't causing any problems and isn't at high risk of causing issues in the future, your dentist may recommend monitoring it regularly. Pain management: while not a long-term solution, over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications can help manage pain associated with an erupting wisdom tooth. Gum irrigation: proper oral hygiene and regular use of a water flosser can help keep the area around your wisdom tooth clean and reduce the risk of infection. Next steps: the best way to determine whether surgery is necessary for your situation is to consult a dentist or oral surgeon. They can assess your wisdom tooth through x-rays and a physical examination to understand its position, potential risks, and the most appropriate course of action. Remember, seeking professional advice is crucial for ensuring proper dental health and preventing potential complications.

That is very unpredictable depends on many factors. But prevention is better than cure. Avoid eating very hard and sticky food. Brush twice a day religiously.

Hi it is normal for the the upper front teeth (central incisors) be still unerupted 6 months after their normal eruption date which is 7-8 years of age. The eruption is considered delayed when the child is above 8 1/2 – 9 years old. Since there is a history of trauma, and its of concern, an xray can be taken to identify and locate the position of the teeth. It will help in the decision of further treatment, mean while consider massaging the gums by gently rubbing them with clean finger.

I understand that you're experiencing severe pain in your lower tooth, making it difficult to do anything. This sounds worrisome, and I can't diagnose the cause or offer medical advice. However, I can provide some guidance on what you can do next: immediate relief: contact your dentist as soon as possible: explain the severity and location of the pain. Most dentists offer emergency appointments for such situations. Do not take any over-the-counter medication without consulting your dentist: while medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen might offer temporary relief, they might mask underlying issues that need professional attention. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek near the painful tooth: this can help reduce swelling and ease discomfort. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day: this can help clean the area and potentially reduce inflammation. Possible causes: deep cavity: this can cause severe pain, especially when eating or drinking. Dental abscess: an infection on the root of the tooth can cause intense pain and swelling. Cracked tooth: this can cause sharp, stabbing pain, especially when biting down. Temporomandibular joint (tmj) disorder: this can cause pain in the jaw and surrounding areas, including the teeth. Remember: early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for dental problems. Delaying treatment can worsen the situation and make it more difficult to manage. A qualified dentist can diagnose the cause of your pain and recommend the appropriate treatment. I hope this information is helpful during this uncomfortable time. Please prioritize contacting your dentist and remember that i'm here to answer any further questions you might have.
