Osteoporosis in Men. What?

By Dr. Orrange June 9, 2008 9:41am No comments

DrOrrange

Let's be honest, for most of us when we think about osteoporosis we think it's a women's issue. Surprise! Six out of a hundred men over age 65 have osteoporosis.

So who do we screen and when? Men who are older than 70, have low body weight or weight loss and are not physically active are at risk for osteoporosis. Other factors that increase a …

Is there A Way to Prevent Dementia and Cognitive Decline?

By Dr. Orrange April 21, 2008 12:11pm 6 Comments

DrOrrange

More than 33% of women and 20% of men over age 65 develop dementia, and many more develop a milder form of cognitive impairment. I think we can all appreciate the huge impact dementia has on the medical system and more importantly on the individuals and family members involved. Many of my patients who have loved ones experiencing cognitive decline …

Goin' out with a Bang

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 | A General Update story

I have to be sober for 24 hr. before I see the suboxone doc. So I've been taking alot of hydrocodone the last couple of weeks. And I took 80 10/500 in the last 24hr. I'm pretty tired now but can't wait to see the doc tomorrow! Anyone else on the suboxone program?

Norco AGAIN

Saturday, June 21, 2008 | A General Update story

Still trying to get off the norco. Still trying to get a good night's sleep. My driving permit restricts me for medical use only so I applied for a work permit to drive 12hr a day. I should know the answer in 4-6 weeks.

Saturday, June 14, 2008 | A General Update story

I started taking norco again a few days ago. I could not handle the pain one night and I ended up taking a few norco pills. Then I started taking them in the day time also. I am only taking 3-4 a day but I am going to try to ween off again. It is very hard to get off these things. I am expecting to get my restricted driveng permit today in the mail. It will be 2 yrs. without a license in au...

Prostatitis Information

Prostatitis is any form of inflammation of the prostate gland. Inflammation of the prostate leads to pain, often during voiding but also in back and rectum. Frequent urination and increased urgency may suggest a cystitis (bladder inflammation). Ejaculation may be painful, as the prostate contracts during emission of semen.

Antibiotics are the first line of treatment in acute prostatitis, which is classified as a medical emergency. In chronic bacterial prostatitis, prolonged high-dose courses of antimicrobials, typically Ciprofloxacin, are often attempted to eradicate infection.
