People tell me that Logan and Elliot can be girl names but Roger can't!! They're all equally masculine, so WTF is the difference? Roger can by Ro(Row) duh. and how the eff do you get Lola out of Logan? sh*t doesn't work that way sweets.

Ghosts and a diety aren't related at all. I find ghost hunting a very entertaining hobby and I have a menagerie of ghost hunting equipment, yet I am a staunch atheist.

Me and my friend acquired a 1965 Dodge D100 3/4 ton 4x4 for free and are making it into an off road truck, its a 226 slant 6, 4 speed manual transmission. Now like every truck, it has its advantages and dis advantages, could anyone tell me what they are? The body is rough but the frame is rock...

DEGU - The reason you're feeling this down to your middle toe is most likely because either your L4-L5 disc or Prirformis muscle (under your glutes) is pinching your Sciatic nerve (this runs down the back of your thigh...then branches into many nerves, including the peroneal which reaches to...

DEGU - I can tell you what you have...spinal stenosis (in addition to DDD, et al). The reason you only feel it in your legs is that your Sciatic nerves (back of thighs) are nurab (vs. tingling). The epidural should help...I had mine prior to surgery, and I could walk without a cane. I...

Do you have insurance? The reason I ask is because I researched an ortho who works on NFL players or other professional athletes...their trauma/sports-related knowledge is very helpful. If you can find one and pick an insurance company that he/she takes, that might be a good option. Although...

Disc tear as well...I have 2, possibly 3 separate problems. I'll know in the next few months if my SI joint pain was radiation from the disc or not. But we were able to diagnose the piriformis/nerve 2 years before we FINALLY found the tear. MRIs never found it...I had to tell my Ortho to be...

Maybe not the hip, but may show the SI joint...it all depenRAB on what is requested by your dr. Mine tend to show the hip, but I can't recall if all of them do.

I know, the tennis ball method is a little weird! But, if you can find the location of the pain to massage it, you should be able lie on your floor and place it under your buttock in the right place. A good friend of mine also has this problem, and she has no back pain, which means it's her...

Excellent questions! I'll do my best to answer, since it may vary depending on the person. Here's my perspective: 1) I usually start off by finding the achy spot in the middle and lie on that area for awhile. But, there are times where I roll it along the route of the muscle, which enRAB...

Here's a breakdown of your MRI: "The L4/L5 disk space level demonstrates a central bulging disk with annual tear in the left paracentral location but without focal herniated disk protrusion. There is mild spinal stenosis. The neural foramina appear normal." The disc is bulging and torn, but...

I have another question...have you had any pain or ache on your hip? If you're unsure, place your thurab on your greater trochanter (that's the protrusion of your femur where the top meets your pelvis) and see if that hurts. Chances are, if you experience pain there, or along a line from the...

Hi, NaomiWise - Is the pain in your backside at an angle? What I mean is, is it lower on the outside portion and higher on the inside? Have you any pain when you put pressure on your greater trochanter (sp?), the top of the thigh bone where your thigh meets the torso (not front or back, but...

Schmorl's node is where the cartilage of the disc intrudes into the vertebrae...ouch! Your rib pain may be a radiation from that area...but that depenRAB on exactly where it hurts (T7 is about the same level of the bottom of your shoulder blades). Is it just below? Then it's possibly...

Nope, you made it clear (at least to me). It does sound a lot like my problems...sitting, standing, etc. I feel it in the same places...middle of my backside, the side of my hip, the back of my thigh right under the hamstring, and even my middle toe! What happens in this situation is this...
