Can a injured upper extremity cause eye crust?

---

I have had several surgery's on my shoulders and elbows. I have noticed that when my arms are really hurting I wake up with crusty eyes. Does this mean I have a infection?
Not in the way you're thinking. What might be happening is while you're asleep you tend to squint or squeeze your eyes due to pain. This might be a subconscious reaction. When you wake up the resulting crust would be their. Have you noticed this happening after a bad day with pain, or when you first wake up the pain might be a little more intense then usual? This is where the 2 come together. Try using a few natural tears in each eye before sleeping. to see if this might help stop this for you. Good luck and God Bless  (+ info)

What conditions are ruled out with an upper extremity EMG?

---

I had an EMG nerve conduction study of the upper extremity and the results showed carpal tunnel in both left/right wrist and ulnar nerve entrapment. Will it show other conditions like MS?
An EMG measures muscle response to a nerve's stimulation. During the test electrodes are inserted into the muscle.

EMG is usually used to measure the electrical activity of muscle during rest, slight contraction, and forceful contraction.A related procedure that may be performed is nerve conduction velocity (NCV).

EMG may be done to identify the cause of symptoms, such as muscle weakness, deformity, spasticity, atrophy, and stiffness. It may be used to detect whether someone is experiencing true muscle weakness or weakness because of pain or psychological reasons.

An MRI scan is used to detect MS, although occasionally a CT-scan is used.  (+ info)

How is isolated limb infusion of the upper extremity completed?

---

isolated limb infusion of what? why one limb only? if you infuse anything in the veins or the aateries, it is going to go all over the body with the circulation anyways, One exception that comes to mind is the embolisation procedure where they throw an iatrogenic thrombus is a vessel that is bleeding too much or that supplies to a cancer, but that is not heard of very commonly in the upper limbs, you could talk to your doctor too, good luck  (+ info)

What is "optimal upper extremity"?

---

I'm not a native English speaker, and don't know about the phrase
"optimal upper extremity". I only know that it's about occupational therapy. What is the meaning of "optimal upper extremity"?
Depending on the context in which the term was used it most likely means that therapy will be designed to restore the affected arm to the best condition possible or as near to normal as can be achieved.
It could also refer to the idea that many people have one arm that is stronger than the other. For example, most people are right handed so the performance and strength of their right upper extremity is greater than their left upper extremity.  (+ info)

what is 20% OF MY LEFT UPPER EXTREMITY / 12% to the whole person (shoulder surgery)?

---

20% permanent impairment to left upper extremity The AMA Guide 4th Edition
must be dealing with workmans comp? The percentage is the percent of the disability your whole body is 100% working when you have a injury the injury effects a certain percentage of your body and thats where the 12% comes in as a whole body injury as car as the 20% it is the amount of disability in that part of your body   (+ info)

what upper extremity muscles are used in a full swing of a golf club & which exercises would help?

---

i can list the main muscles you use... but not so much the exercises. well, there are A LOT of muscles working together as you swing the club.

to start off with, the muscles in your arms: deltoids (anterior, middle & posterior), triceps, biceps; the muscles in your hands and forearms (extensors & flexors) as well, since they help grip the club.

muscles of the trunk: your pectoralis major & minor (breast) is extended when you begin by lifting and aiming the club backwards. all the muscles of your shoulder girdle are utilized as well. they are partly responsible for the action of swing your club. your rhomboid muscles (the place in between your shoulderblades that can be achy or where "knots" accumilate when you're stressed out) that are attached to your shoulderblades are responsible for the extension of your forward swing...once it's out in front of you. the serratus anterior muscles (small muscles in between your ribs) are extended right before you swing the club forward. your erector muscles (the ones on the sides of your spine) help keep your trunk erect during sideways rotation. the abdominal muscles, especially your external obliques (the most lateral side of your mid-section) extend and help you rotate while you swing.

these are main muscle groups that work together when you swing your club. definitely gather more answers about physical training so you know what workouts will be best.

make sure you stretch often... so your muscles will work to their full potential.  (+ info)

Congenital Heart, Atrial Septal Defect. Has anyone had sufficient results from the Amplatzer Occluder?

---

Atrial Septal Defect is a Congenital Heart Defect. A hole between the two upper chambers. I'm a 47 year old male in good physical condition that was just recently diagnosed. The Amplatzer Occluder is a stent like devise that is inserted into the groin area and delivered to the heart chambers where it opens up like an "umbrella on one side and the the other itself to fill in the hole and close.
ironically i just got this done 2 days ago and i am at home feeling fine. I am eighteen years old and have bounced back well so far.. if you want to keep in touch i can let you know how long it takes for me to start working out again. the hole in my heart was moderately large.. about an inch big, and it is all closed up now. my groin is quite sore but that will go away in about a week. I am so glad they didn't go ahead with open heart.  (+ info)

can iv therapy cause upper extremity dvt's?

---

My husband was in the hospital- he's 27- and a few days following, he was diagnosed with an upper extremity dvt. he did receive iv therapy (Kcl + antibiotics). the nurse had dislodged his iv cath, allowed it to infiltrate, and now he has this condition. He has no underlying hypercoagulatory conditions, and has no other predisposing factors.
So, when was he tested for all of the hypercoaguability disorders? He needs to be tested now and tested for Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome and all of the genetic and other clotting disorders out there, like Lp(a).

Infections increase clotting, IV damage to the vein can cause a DVT.

I have Lupus & APS. Until my 2nd clot, I had been told there was nothing wrong...no clotting problems - these were flukes and a "undefined hypercoaguability state". Turned out that I had the APS, Lp(a) and MTHFR. I went back and looked my medical records to find that the negative tests results were "cancelled" meaning they were never tested.  (+ info)

Why does lower extremity exercises cause much higher rise in blood pressure?

---

Why does lower extremity exercises cause much higher rise in blood pressure and heart rate than upper extremity exercises?

thank you for everyone who answers.
Any type of exercise will increase your heart rate and blood pressure secondary to a release of adrenaline (Epinephrine). This is a normal response of the body to supply the needed nutrients required with exercise. Lower extremity exercises can increase the venous return to the heart, which results in an increased in cardiac output. This results in a higher blood pressure in addition to the adrenaline release.  (+ info)
