There's no particular timeline that stands true for all patients, it depends on many factors such as age of diabetes onset, control of blood sugars, lifestyle and regular check ups.

View allI'm trying to understand if my SerumCHODPAP levels with an ATCS of 324.8 are considered abnormal. Could you provide some guidance on this? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure everything's okay.
A serum CHOD-PAP level of 324.8 is within the normal range. CHOD-PAP is an enzyme used to measure levels of phosphatase in the body, and a level of 324.8 is not considered abnormal. No specific treatment is needed for this result.

I'm 19 years old and my height is 5'7". I'm really hoping to grow up to 5'10". How can I achieve this? It's super important to me, so any advice would be great.
Given your history of previous shin bone injuries, it's essential to take this injury seriously and follow a proper recovery plan. *Immediate Action* 1. *Stop activity*: Avoid putting weight on the injured leg or engaging in any physical activity that may exacerbate the injury. 2. *Apply RICE principle*: - Rest: Give your leg a break and avoid activities that aggravate the injury. - Ice: Apply ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. - Compression: Use an elastic bandage or compression wrap to help reduce swelling. - Elevation: Elevate your leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. 3. *Pain management*: You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage pain and inflammation. *Medical Attention* Consider visiting an orthopedic doctor or a sports medicine specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance. They may recommend: 1. *X-rays or imaging tests*: To rule out any fractures or other underlying conditions. 2. *Physical therapy*: To help improve mobility, strength, and flexibility in the affected leg. 3. *Customized rehabilitation plan*: To ensure a safe and effective return to sports. *Recovery and Prevention* 1. *Gradual return to activity*: Once cleared by your doctor, gradually return to football and other physical activities to avoid re-injury. 2. *Wear proper gear*: Always wear shin guards and other protective gear during football games and practices. 3. *Strengthen your legs*: Engage in exercises that strengthen your leg muscles, particularly the anterior tibialis muscle, to help prevent future injuries.

I'm a 28-year-old guy managing my blood pressure with amlodipine and nebicard 2.5. Lately, I've been dealing with vertigo, and after an MRI, the neurologist said I'm fine and just gave me some spinfree tabs. He also noted that my vitamin D level is 64 nmolL and recommended a mega dose of 600,000 IU intramuscularly once a month for three months. Prior to this, I was on a 60,000 IU weekly regimen for three months, then reduced to once a month for two months. Ever since starting the 600,000 IU injections, I've been feeling like my heart's racing and I'm getting sweaty all over. Is it safe for me to continue these high-dose vitamin D injections given that I have high blood pressure and a 2mm kidney stone that I'm hoping to pass with lots of water? Just feeling a bit uneasy since my doctor is a neurologist, not a cardiologist.
its ok to take injection of vitamin d, it will not effect on your blood pressure
