Thanks for reaching out.
Sudden onset back pain due to lifting weights is highly likely due to a prolapsed intervertebral disc. It can be quite disabling particularly in elderly. Since her pain is radiating down her legs and buttocks, it's a neurological compression requiring specific medications as per the individual requirements.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Chronic kidney disease is one of the often seen complication of long standing diabetes. ANti -diabetic drugs do not cause damage to kidney, it is the diabetes itself which leads to kidney disease. Plus with such high glucose levels Insulin is the only best treatment. Oral drugs may not afford necessary control as her pancreas (beta cells) is unlikely to produce adequate insulin. Hence, supplement is essential. Insulin pens are a good way to inject, very much pain...more

Dear Sir, I am 33 year male suffering from nightfall and dhat (precum) since 12 years. It made me thin, weak and fatigue. But medical science is saying that nightfall and precum are not making someone lean and thin, or weight loss. Recently I have tested mine Urine, CBC blood test, testosterone, thyroid. All came with in normal range. Please suggest me what tests I should do to find out the reason of my thinness, weakness and weightless. Prior to this problem I was of good physic with muscles. But from when this problem started I became thin and weak. Looking like an elderly man. Today I checked hemoglobin which is 10.4% and bp is 100/60, weight only 54 kg (height 5.4 inch).

3. Do exercise and meditation daily for 30 minutes.

My query is not health related but rather in relation to hospitalization expenses and medical insurance. I like to know what expenses are covered under health insurance. I had recently undergone prostate surgery T.U.R.P and I am covered under UTI's Senior citizen unit plan for reimbursement of hospitalization expenses. Under this plan the beneficiary has to initially meet the expenses and later claim reimbursement from Unit Trust of India against hospital bills and certification by the hospital. I had claimed the same as per the procedure. To my utter surprise I found that UTI has disallowed expenses on heads such as 1) surgical gloves, 2) cost of Camera for surgery 3) ECG Electrodes 4) Hand rub 5) Micropore 6) Table sheets etc. My query is are the people scrutinising the claims learned members of medical fraternity? Or lay men operating from road side fraud units. They do not seem to be in modern day medicine practice as they are an aware that for any pin hole surgery a camera is a must. For precaution against infection hand gloves and table sheets are essential and so also Hand rub. ECG electrodes are similarly essential for conducting the tests. I have been deprived of these reimbursements. I am very disturbed as in process I have lost a substantial amount. Will someone kindly teach these lords who do not have any pain in causing this trouble to elderly insured persons with no other source of income to meet the expenses. The purpose of investing in this scheme is defeated if at this age the patient has to lose a substantial amount thus. I would like to know that are these items luxuries, Can laparoscopic surgery be conducted without camera? Are gloves, table sheets items of show and not essential medically? Is hand rub meant for perfuming the surgeons/ nurse's palm. I request you to kindly enlighten me on the same and if possible take up the issue at proper forum to compel UTI to reconsider its deductions. Regards.
