I think this is pretty good, I would like to add something to your list...I think, "The site of the pain is not necessarily the source of the pain" is a more accurate statement. Sometimes your...

IMO, it's better to see a sports medicine physician first. A surgeon makes money doing surgery, so if you want to try to care for the injury conservatively, it would be best to see a sports medicine...

"Creatine should be used cautiously in persons with pre-existing renal disease that produces renal impairment or renal failure. Creatine loading generates large quantities of the metabolite...

I agree. All I was trying to point out is that the muscle tissue would swell. Thus, if you used the generalized "tissue swelling" definintion of edema, then there would be a form of edema. Anyways,...

I don't think it is too relevant in creatine intake. Here's something from the source I mentioned earlier (Shannon: Haddad and Winchester's Clinical Management of Poisoning and Drug Overdose, 4th...

I think that would depend on the cause. Just doing a quick read, at the end of life, edema of the lower extremities and lower trunk is common. I would say that is not localized (you might differ),...

Wouldn't there be some initial edema due to the water "increasing the size of the intracellular compartment"...? Not to say it would be a chronic case, but I would think that if there is water...

1) Many references. Try Shannon: Haddad and Winchester's Clinical Management of Poisoning and Drug Overdose, 4th ed. for this and many other supplementation information.

2) The water retention...

I would suggest keeping on doing your flexion exercises, but my knowledge of your specific injury is limited. Any other ROM exercises will probably be good also.

"The steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20HE) is an essential signaling molecule that modulates molting response in insects and may function as a putative anabolic factor in vertebrate animals,...

I'm not an expert on bodybuilding supplements, but what I know about tryptophan is that it is a precursor to serotonin, and not really beneficial for growth hormone boosting. The FDA has tried to...

Magnesium--

Did you go to a Physical Therapist or Physician? Can you describe what exercises you are currently doing for your wrist?

Do not freak out and diagnose yourself based off Google. Protein is always present in your urine, and excessive protein in urine can only be diagnosed by a physician. I would, however, recommend...

If you want to still do weight training, then you are probably ok to do very light weight training (I'm assuming your symptoms aren't debilitating), but keep in mind spondylosis doesn't just "get...

The iliopsoas muscle is a major hip flexor that is activated in any type of leg lifting, and you may have strained this muscle. I would advise you to see a physician to ensure it is not a more...

Bee pollen has claimed to have various effects (vitality improvements, athletic improvements, etc.), but has not experimentally shown any enhancement of athletic performance. It may provoke allergic...

I think I've said this before on another thread, but I would recommend trying to get into a sports medicine clinic. An ER doc is a qualified doc to make a diagnosis and recommendations, but if you...

Good post!
I hope to be a physician some day, and I think the mentality of preventative medicine and healthy living needs to be the predominate mindset. The more people there are out there...

I would suggest some kind of conservative care (ibuprofen and rest) until your physician prescribes a treatment.
