Patient discussion about radiated tortoises.
Q. I have a low back pain that radiates to my leg when i pick up stuff. Is it a disc herniation? I am a 43 years old bank teller. During the past 5 months I've suffered from a low back pain. The pain is not very strong, but it gets much worse while doing physical activity. When i walk or lift heavy things the pain is even stronger, and it radiates to my left leg. Can it be signs for disc herniation?
A. You can't tell for sure that your symptoms are due to a specific disc pathology.
When i had similar symptoms i went to the GP and he told me to lay down on your back. Then he slowly raised my left leg while the knee is kept in extension.
He said that If raising the leg over 60 degree exacerbates the pain its very likely to be disc herniation. But you should go to your GP and have him examine you.

Q. what does a sun block cream do? and what are a UV rays?
A. It blocks out harmful Ultra violet rays from the skin as the previous entries have related; however it can also block your ability to produce vitamin D. If you live in a northerly area or one that receives limited sunlight, its recommended to get at least 15 minutes of sun a day (this is probably best done with minimal sunblock) and according to personnal sun sensitivity. Another thing to keep in mind is that sunblock works best if applied 20 minutes before sun exposure.
