Bottle feeding a baby is a time-consuming and stressful task. You must monitor your milk production, your baby's feeding schedule, and other factors. Once you start weaning your toddler from the bottle, it can be equally as stressful—but for very different reasons! Some mothers feel bad about denying their toddlers something they adore so much, while others worry that if a bottle isn't around at all times, their children won't get enough food or liquids. What if, then, I could prove to you that things don't have to be this way? That there are actually ways to help you through the process? Be consistent While consistency is important for all aspects of parenting, it's especially important when weaning a toddler from bottle feeding. While your child may be ready to make the transition, she might not want to let go of her beloved bottle—and that's okay! Be patient and don't give up hope if it takes your child a few days or weeks to adjust. The easiest
I’ve been suffering from FlexorTendinitis. In layman’s word it is called Trigger Finger. It started two years ago on my right hand thumb and it is recurring again lately. This time it’s not only my thumb but my right hand’s fore and middle fingers as well. My fingers bend and lock especially at night and are very painful to straighten in the morning.
Trigger finger is a type of tendinitis, develops in the tendons which bend the fingers. There are no muscles in the fingers themselves. Muscles in the forearm are connected to the finger bones by smooth, flexible strings, called tendons. The muscles pull on the tendons, which then bend the finger joints The flexor tendons are smooth, flexible, thick strings - they look a bit like clothesline rope. They work like a bicycle brake cable to bend your fingers, sliding in and out of the finger as it straightens and bends.
Cause: Tendon swelling (tendinitis) results from a person's own tendency to collect fluid around their tendons and joints. This may be aggravated by repetitive or strenuous activities. When the tendons which bend the fingers (the flexor tendons) become irritated, they can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. Tendon swelling interferes with the normal movement of the tendons and can cause the finger to and click, catch ("triggering") or lock in position.
Symptoms of finger tendonitis and thumb tendinitis include:
Pain and tenderness along the flexor tendon, in proximity to the finger or thumb joints.
Pain is worse with movement or repetitive activity.
Pain at night.
Tenderness and swelling over the bit where the tendon inserts onto the finger or thumb bone.
Pain when you try to bend the finger or thumb against resistance.
At first, I thought I just got too tired, so I rested my hands, but after a week it is not getting any better but got worst.I could hardly grip and it swelled aside from the pain.So, I decided to see a doctor.My husband accompanied me to MedicalCity, after a series of questions and answers while examining my hands, the doctor diagnosed it as Trigger Finger.
Prescription: The doctor advised and prescribed me the following:
To ice the swollen area for five to fifteen minutes at a time on the area which is most swollen and tender until it feels numb.
Arcoxia (Etoricoxib) 120 mg for pain and anti inflammatory.
Fastum Gel - massaging a small amount on the affected area for 1-3 minutes, 2-3 times a day
If the Etoricoxib does not relieve the pain I have to get back for a steroid injection. Methylprednisolone 40mg/ml to be injected to the sore area, but the doctor informed me that no more than two shots are given into one finger because more may lead to complications, such as tendon rupture.
Just in case there is no progress after a week of injecting Methylprednisolone and taking etoricoxib medicines, he suggested to perform a surgery on it. Oh my! I do not like to undergo a surgery, so I keep on praying and followed religiously all his advices. Thank God! the swelling and pain got away.
The doctor advised me to avoid activities which involve a sustained grip. Hold off on the use of grip strengthening devices or exercises involving repetitive squeezing like washing clothes - these put stress on the irritated tendon.
Wear a splint to keep the finger straight, especially when sleeping. The splint will limit finger bending. It will help rehabilitate flexibility, strength and muscle imbalance, and control physical activities.
If you happen to be having the symptoms of a Trigger Finger, I strongly suggest that you seek for medical help at once, before it will get worst. The medications and prescription given to me may not be suitable in all cases. I just only showed you my personal experience on how I was able to recuperate from a finger tendinitis.
Here is a video I researched on to give you an educational view about Flexor Tendinitis.
Had the same problem with my knee. An able masseuse got the locking out. Stress in the forearm causes the joints to work more when bending, causing the problem. A massage on the whole arm and possibly the back should get rid of this. An operation should only be a last resort. Once nerves are severed, there's no going back.
Hope it get's better soon. Mahirap magdictate lol. Sometimes ako rin it hurts baka pasimula na nyan. Visiting from PMC hope you visit back and like my post here at http://www.mrs-shoppiness.com/2011/04/luxurious-online-shopping-at-reebonz/

Hope you are doing well now!.. It is one of the most common causes of pain and limited range of motion in the hand. This condition, commonly called ‘trigger finger’ is caused by swelling along the tendon in the palm of hand, and outward towards the finger. This particular tendon goes through several tunnels (pulleys) on its way toward the finger, which help maintain its position and proper functioning. For some people, local steroid injection has been shown to help in early forms of trigger finger. However, most patients are not content to spend many weeks being treated with conservative measures, only to have symptoms persist.

Trigger finger or trigger thumb is when your fingers or thumb get stuck in a bent position – as if squeezing a “trigger.” Trigger finger can occur in one or more fingers. The ring finger is often one of the fingers affected. The condition is also known as stenosing tenosynovitis. My uncle is under Trigger Finger Treatment In Phoenix and am searching a lot o this. Thanks for sharing. Keep exploring.
Trigger finger is not a dangerous condition. The decision to have surgery is a personal one, based on how severe your symptoms are and whether nonsurgical options have failed. In addition, if your finger is stuck in a bent position, your doctor may recommend surgery to prevent permanent stiffness. Most people are able to move their fingers immediately after surgery. It is common to have some soreness in your palm. Frequently raising your hand above your heart can help reduce swelling and pain. Recovery is usually complete within a few weeks, but it may take up to 6 months for all swelling and stiffness to go away. If your finger was quite stiff before surgery, physical therapy and finger exercises may help loosen it up.
Clogged drains are typically easy to fix, as we can unclog it physically, chemically or a combination of both. However, it usually depends on the nature and extent of the problem so before calling on an experience plumber in parramatta , here are some tips that you may try to uncork that clog. The kitchen sink is most often clogged with fats, grease and oils, unplug or remove the strainer, as grease accumulate around the strainer in the sink. Remove and wash away anything that has collected around it. You may also use liquid sosa or liquid lye, just pour it straight then wait for 10 minutes before flushing it with tap water. Better yet pour in the chemical at night before going to sleep when nobody will use the kitchen sink anymore. Flush it with water the next morning.
With the economy being what it is, people are more conscious about their expenses. The last thing you want to be doing is spending money on things that are not essential. There are simple ways to save money at home, which can cut down your bills significantly. Use energy-efficient appliances If possible, buy energy-efficient appliances such as washing machines and dryers that have lower water and energy consumption levels. These will help save energy and thus money over time because they consume less electricity than their non-efficient counterparts do. Consider replacing your old refrigerator with an energy-efficient refrigerator. You may not be aware of the fact that your fridge is one of the biggest consumers of power in your home. An inefficient refrigerator can use up to 300 kWh per year, which is more than 10% of the total household energy bill. So, it is important to get an efficient one that uses less electricity and saves you money on your electricity bill. Use en
