Is Cherifer Pgm 10-22 effective? I'm 5'7 height and play basketball. ## I'm sorry, but I really don't have an answer to that question. This is actually a nutritional supplement and as such, it is not actually tested for efficacy. In addition, even when something has been proven effect, it doesn't always work for everyone that uses it. This does contains a complex of vitamins, with Chlorella Growth Factor and is commonly given to teenagers to try to maximize their growth potential. Has your doctor advised you to use this? ## does it make you gain weight? ## guyz effective po ang cherifer pgm with zinc 2 weeks plang akong umiinom 5'2 ang height ko nging 5'3 bukod sa cherifer dapat my diet and stretching pag umaga.inumin nyo bago mtlog para umeffect.btw im 16 yr...

For Building Bones ## My wife has been using osteo valen for about a year. she has noticed no side effects or adverse reactions, and her stature and posture is good, but has not had a bone density test since she started the medicine. We'd appreciate any experience replies, (good or bad) about the product. ## This is an over the counter item, so it is not regulated like prescritption drugs and information on it, and proof of its efficacy are not readily available. ## I have been taking Osteo Valin for 6 months. My bone scan on April 8, 2010 showed strong healthy bones. About 15 years ago I was diagnosed with osteopenia. In 2002 I asked for another scan and it came back with severe osteoporosis. I took Fosamax for 3 years - experienced jaw pain that I finally figured out was from the ...

Lately, I've been having pain in the coccyx bone after sitting, whether on the bed or a chair. I did not fall down at all. Why is it hurting after sitting for only 25 minutes? ## It is really hard to say, you should see a doctor and let them do a physical exam. Do you sit a lot during the day? If so, that may cause it, since it is not good to be idle too much. It could also be due to your possibly developing arthritis, or some other medical condition, according to NIH reports, but only a doctor can give you a definitive answer. Are you on any medications? The FDA does warn that some can cause these types of issues as a side effect. Do you maintain proper posture when sitting? Soft surfaces, such as beds, are not ideal for sitting on for any long period of time, since you don't g...

Same problem i am also facing. Those nowadays doctors must say are DACOITS. an with god bless they should go to hell. Each doctor precribe other and refer to other DACOITS. Though got MRI SCAN and C4, C5 and C6, there is mild. Though taking the drugs say nucoxia mr gets relief but second instance again the pain. Doctor prescribed for surgical operation with 2.5 lacs, which is too costly for me like middle class personnel. Any other remedy if anybody can prescibe as did PYSIOTHEREABY, but say it is total useless an if somebody say YES then like to meet. It is just wastage of time, money an pain remain the same. Though with them tried for 15 days but pain remain the same. Somebody pls help me as pain is severe at night an since 30 days i am not able to lie down and sleep like normal perso...

I've had testicular pain for over 17 years. All doctors claim I have nothing! I am in constant pain that shoots in spasms towards my lower back that prevents me from correct posture. My right testicle has considerable shrinkage, two lumps the size of a pea that hurt excruciatingly to the touch. No meds help. All they do is upset my stomach. The only thing I've been told is chronic epididymitis and that I have some calcium build up, that's it! I need an actual diagnosis. The pain drains me and bothers me. Its crazy...My symptoms are constant, daily: dull pain and aches on the testis, lower back spasms that lock. On bad days the pain reaches all the way to my calve but the center of the pain is always by my right testicle. Help? I've taken all over the counter meds and ant...

Hi. l am 160cm. l want make my height 170 or 165cm. Is it possible? I am 24 years old and l am from iran. ## Hi Nahal! There really isn't anything you can do to increase your height. You are an adult now and your bones are fully grown and fused. ## @nahal, What Cats said is right about there not being much you can do to increase your height at that age when you are already mostly developed. However, one thing that is often recommended for those looking to push their bodies to their genetic limits is yoga, since it offers a way to not only improve your posture and reach, but also as a means to promote better stature in the long run if you remain consistent with that approach; therefore you may appear taller just by how you 'carry yourself' so to speak. Other than that, there ...

I'm a 26 year old male. It was a usual night I was sleeping and suddenly I felt numbness in my left leg and left arm and I don't know whether it was because of my sleeping posture. I felt it was some other problem and suddenly my heart started to pump fast and i was sweating and finally i managed somehow and i slept. The next day I was googling the symptoms and mistakenly assumed it was stroke and went to see a neurologist.. The doctor said it was just because of depression and stress.. But I don't have that much stress or felt depressed. Then the doctor prescribed me nexito 10mg, amicon and supranex. Then for a day I was normal but by the next day while getting up I can lift my legs and hands but my mind can't feel it. Then it was normal for a few minutes. Then I stoppe...

I'm thinking about getting a toilet stool as it's supposed to cause less strain. A site by the name of toiletsolution says it's better for your health and so forth. Has anybody tried one of these things? Do they work? Thank you. ## Supposedly the posture is better at making you poop? ## Yes, is really isn't going to change your health, but research has shown that the squatting position helps make it easier to defecate and to more fully defecate. The NIH and most other health organizations even recommend it for pregnant women, to try to prevent strain and the development of hemorrhoids. I did use one, when I was pregnant and found it helped, a lot. But we are all different. I really don't think you need to buy a special stool, just anything that elevates you into a sq...

I am suffering from lower back pain due to posture problem since 2 years ## You can take it, as long as your doctor approves. It contains a muscle relaxant, Metaxalone, and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, Diclofenac. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, dry mouth, and stomach irritation. Are you on any other medications?

I am 62+. I have never been a patient of BP as my usual BP range has been in range (!!6 - 120) & (70 to 76) and my ECG is normal. Still I have been advised to take Ciplar 20mg twice daily for the past 1 year to control the symptoms of Palpitation resulting in fast & irregular Heart Beat associated with restlessness. I have noticed now that when I get up from a posture of sitting on floor to standing, I feel giddiness or some sort of blackout and need a support else I may even fall down. Such symptoms were not prevailing earlier. Is this because of any side effect of taking Ciplar? Should I still continue taking Ciplar?

My name is chandru & my age 28. My height is 5'3" and i want to grow my height 5'8" please help me ## Hi chandru, At the age of 28, my first thought is that your body is probably done growing at this point. From what I understand, growth spurts usually stop in our early-mid 20's. However, if you're able to, I'd consider getting into some sort of fitness activities, such as yoga for the potential to improve posture, increase your reach, as well as flexibility; thereby encouraging growth factors to take place over time. Not many people are aware of this, but exercise is actually one of the largest contributors to growth hormone. I even notice if I don't keep up with my own exercise habits after about a week, then my back and posture begin to lose form, ...

Human body is supposed to stop growing after the age of 18. However you can increase your height up to 4-5 inches naturally at home. At first you have to take care of your nutrients and diets. As diets & nutrition are one of the crucial factor responsible for growth of the body. The right amount of vitamins like protein,calcium,calories,carbohydrates are very important & are compulsory if you intend to increase your height. Make sure every morning, you wake up early and do some yoga and exercises, as yoga makes body flexible. Yoga & exercises must be done before having breakfast in empty stomach. After yoga you can have your breakfast and it must fill your stomach full. You can have 2 eggs and milk with supplement diet and some oats. Supplement diets are easily available in ...

My name is Francis and i reside at league city, Tx. I am 20yrs old and will be 21 in August . I am 163cm and want to increase to 172cm. Please Sir, give me the name of the most active height increasing tablet, tonic or powder that will not depreciate my height after a while and where I can purchase it. I need a permanent 172cm. I'll be most grateful for your assistance. ## Hi DBazzy, If you're looking to gradually increase your height, I think one of the most important things you can do on a daily basis would be to stretch for at least 20 minutes, in order to help improve posture, reach, flexibility, and lumbar strength; which would offer more support to a larger frame. Now based on your age, it seems you still have at least a few years left to reach your full growth potential. ...

I am having pain in the heel part of my left leg. I get feel the pain after I get up from the sitting (or sleeping) posture and start walking the pain starts. The pain subsides after walking some distance, but does not disappear. If I wait in queue or in malls for my turn say for paying the bill) I feel the pain. It is said that the pain is due to growth of a small bone in the heel. I don't want surgery. I am about 68 years old-5'3'' tall and 56 kg.

Very frequently I feel severe numbness in my left arm - a sensational feeling of pricking in the arm. It is now almost three months that I have been feeling this problem. The numbness arises any time without any specific cause, effort or posture. I am 68 yrs of age and have never had any apparent cardiac problem. ## I'm sorry, we aren't medical professionals and no one could possibly diagnose your issue over the internet. Are you on any types of medications? Have you talked to a doctor about this? There are various medical conditions that can cause this and I'm afraid only a doctor could really get to the root of the problem.
