No definitive treatments for the limb-girdle muscular dystrophies exist. Management is tailored to each individual and each specific subtype. Management to prolong survival and improve quality of life includes weight control to avoid obesity, physical therapy and stretching exercises to promote mobility and prevent contractures, use of mechanical aids to help ambulation and mobility, surgical intervention for orthopedic complications, use of respiratory aids when indicated, monitoring for cardiomyopathy in subtypes with cardiac involvement, and social and emotional support and stimulation

What are some painful lifelong deformities/conditions?

---

I was researching some painful lifelong conditions in which people have, and I know one which I am familiar with, Madelung's wrist deformity, but I wanted to some more.... Deformities that can only be treated around early and middle childhood. Not ones which can be treated in latter adulthood.

I have congenital nystagnus, if I have a baby will they be at risk for developing this anymore than others?

---

Around 5 months age I was diagnosed with congenital nystagnus, I have always wanted kids, and assumed I would have them. But in reading about parenting, I am starting to become concerned that if I have a child they will be more at risk for developing this than any other child. Is that so? Is nystagnus hereditary? Or is my child no more likely to develop it than any other child?

If you or someone who know has been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, or MD, then you are most likely curious to understand the causes, symptoms and treatments of MD. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease that causes different muscles to weaken and worsen with time. There are several different types of MD which can affect different muscles and have various outcomes.

The cause of muscle dystrophy is genetics. In most cases of MD the mother will be the carrier and pass it along to their male children. However, in Facioscapulohumeral MD, both males and females are affected equally.

Female children will have a 50 percent chance of carrying the gene. It is possible to detect the muscle dystrophy gene when you are pregnant. If you have a history of MD, then it's best to make sure. Consult a genetic doctor who can perform a test with 95 percent accuracy to see if the gene has been carried on.

Symptoms of muscle dystrophy vary in severity depending on the type of MD you have. Facioscapulohumeral MD affects the upper body and the face. Droopy eyelids, troubles hearing, difficulty pronouncing words and decreased facial expression are all symptoms of Facioscapulohumeral MD. Becker's MD affects the lower body including the legs and the pelvis.

However, with both Facioscapulohumeral MD and Becker's MD, it's possible to live an extended life, often with no disability. Duchenne's MD is another story.

Duchenne's MD is the most severe and usually causes constraint to a wheelchair and an early death. The muscle weakness is simply too severe and often complications can result from this. Most young boys who have been diagnosed with Duchenne's MD will not live past their 25th birthday.

Muscle dystrophy treatment includes physical therapy, group therapy, orthopaedic braces and oral corticosteroids. Unfortunately there is no cure for MD. Instead the focus is on strengthening the muscles and lessening the severity of the symptoms. In some instances, such as with Facioscapulohumeral MD, there may be no symptoms at all. However, in other cases, such as with Duchenne's MD, the symptoms and the consequences are devastating.  (+ info)

Is Sacralization of the L5 and S1 always congenital. Can it be a result of an injury?

---

I was diagnosed by one radiologist that i have congenital sacralization of my L5 and S1. I work a job that has a lot of strain and impact on my back. I am wondering if my job could have caused the sacralization. I also have the start of arthitis in my L5/S1 region.
I agree with Richard C.
The work you did pushed you over the edge. I had to have surgery on mine.Workman's comp did pay for that. But I put in my time at PT. first. I now wish I had opted for the 6 weeks of traction but I had little kids at home and took care of my elderly mother. I didn't think I had the time. I wish the people that had" my best interest at heart" Would have invested some time in me and helped me out. Actually I don't think I even asked for help...But I want to make sure that doesn't happen to you,OK?. 6 weeks in traction....VS....a lifetime of pain even after the surgery ? take the traction.  (+ info)

What's the difference between slitting your wrist and having a limb cut/blown off?

---

I'm not sure how to explain. But I've always wondered how a person can survive having a limb cut or blown off compared to a person who slit his/her wrist. You know when they say "it hit the main artery"...so when a limb gets blown off.....wouldn't the main arteries be affected and the person dies? Or is there somekind of reaction the body does to "save itself"?

Thanks for your answers.
If the limb is crushed or blown off by a mine or a bomb, the blood vessels may not be wide open, which could help the victim live longer. In the case of a bomb, the heat from the explosion could burn the ends of the blood vessels so they are not wide open and squirting blood.

Another difference is that the person with a severed limb is not trying to die, and if he has help or is not in so much shock that he can't function, efforts can be made to stop the bleeding. Someone slitting their wrists isn't trying to stop the bleeding.  (+ info)

what happens if a limb stays asleep for a long time?

---

I was just reading a feature article on the yahoo homepage about what is happening when your arm or foot or other limb falls asleep. and i was wondering, if the limb stayed asleep for a long enough time, would the nerves stop working? would the limb die? or would you just not be able to use it anymore? or would it be fine eventually?
it says asleep... permanently  (+ info)

How do I know if I have Congenital Rubella Syndrome?

---

I do have congenital cataracts, as well as hypothyroid. some other neurological symptoms began 10 years ago that doctors could find no answer to.
That is an interesting possibility. The source below says that all those things may be associated with congenital rubella syndrome, including the delayed onset of neurological problems. It also gives some contact information if you need more information from the experts. I hope you can finally find out what is going on.  (+ info)

Is it possible for someone to have a phantom limb feeling?

---

Can a person have the feeling that they have an extra limb psychologically? Like silly, but for example, someone "feeling" their extra toe, or the opposite gender "feeling" like they have the parts of the other gender? Is that psychologically or physically possible?
And I mean that this person never had anything amputated or removed. They just have this feeling that the part is there?
Anything is possible. Although i've never heard of people having these phantom sensations for any body part they have never actually had and lost.

The brain is a very complex piece of meat. Nobody can say for sure that it's impossible but I have never heard of that syndrome before.

The only instances of false sensations I've heard of were post-incident amputees whom claim to have physical sensations of the absent limb or extremity,  (+ info)
