Are testosterone creams a good legal alternative to injectable steroids?
um|||if you keep putting testosterone into your body you%26#039;l stop making your own.
Does anyone have a cure for tennis elbow - tried CT cream which has helped - don't want to have steroids!?
And has anyone tried acupuncture for it please?! And did that help/cure it?!Have tried it for sciatica and it was brilliant!And wondered if it would work as well for this ailment!|||Unfortunately tennis elbow is a form of repetitive strain injury (RSI) and you can and do get this from working at at computer.
Contact the RSI Association for full information (google RSI). In the meantime, I found seeing an osteopath very very helpful, both for realigning the bones in the arms (if they are even slightly out this will create additional pressure on your elbow and wrist joints) and also for alleviating the muscle pain and reducing inflammation.
In addition to this, rest is good (yes I hear what you say about having to work....I%26#039;ve been there too on this one....!). You need to seriously think about all the things you use your arms/hands for in your life (housework, cleaning the car, gardening, driving, walking the dog, decorating.....) and CUT DOWN on everything. Simply cutting back on just the computer work is not enough, especially if you are using your arms/hands for other things. Seriously, a little rest now on all of it, will pay dividends in the future, don%26#039;t let it get so bad (like I did) that you are seriously hampered in all aspects of your life.
Apart from that, regular breaks (from whatever you are doing) are a good idea. I personally haven%26#039;t tried acupuncture, but it may well worth too.|||I suffered terribly with tennis elbow and like you did not want steroids, tho they are good. Ask your doc to refer you to have some remedial splints fitted. They are soft supports and they re-educate the muscles to return to thier correct position. The only thing is that for a while the splints cause a bit of pain but its worth it. I had this about 6 years ago and it has never returned. I had tennis elbow very badly so give it a go but you will need to persevere with it.|||Wise not to go down the steroid route as it is a short term solution with longer term problems. As you%26#039;ve tried acupuncture before with good effects, go there again. Acupuncture has a great track record with tennis elbow - as do osteopathy, chiropractic %26amp; homoeopathy.|||Rest - give your elbow a chance to heal!|||Stop playing tennis!|||Tennis elbow are strained ligaments from the hand to the elbow.I had it myself from taking a homerun swing but missed.Unfortunatlly it is a TIME injury.I had to wait 6-8 weeks.There is no fast cure and I know it hurts,its just a matter of time before it goes away.|||I went and saw a chiropractor which was the best help. He got me some sort of strap to wear on my arm. After being in pain for so long this really helped.|||Accupuncture can work wonders, especially as it has worked for you before. Alternatively, try a chiropracter - they sorted it out for my wife in just one visit!

Are testosterone creams a good legal alternative to injectable steroids?
actually yes
they are good but if u live in california they are illegal
they are absorbed through the skin and straight to the blood stream which is where u want them to go
this one is expensive but good

You can take steroids for muscle inflammation and asthma, for what I take them.

Giving Barry%26#039;s testimony to the SF Gate was a crime. When the judge in the case saw it in the newspaper, an investigation began to catch the culprit. When they caught the lawyer who leaked it, he confessed and was sentenced to 2.5 years behind bars. No lawyer would give up his license to practice law and plead guilty if he didn%26#039;t do it.

I discovered i had vitiligo, september 2006, and it was diagnosed last year i was given steroid creams but....
they did not work, slowly but surely the vitiligo is starting to disappear. it is only on the left side of my face starting from above my eyebrow to my jawline, im 19 year female with no history of vitiligo in the family, my questions are;
(1)Will the vitiligo be passed on to any future children?
(2)If the vitiligo disappears, what are the chances of it returning?|||Congradulation... If your get treat vitiligo by steroid Creams.
As for as concern with the vitiligo and chance of it to return again in you or in your children research say:-
Vitiligo may be hereditary in some cases. Children of vitiligo affected parents are more likely to develop vitiligo disorder. However, most children will not get vitilgo even if a parent has it. Also most people with vitiligo do not have a family history of the disorder.
Large number of inherited disorders are associated with vitiligo. They include: albinism of the ocular type, autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome, congenital deafness with vitilego and achalasia, dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria, ermine phenotype, familial histiocyctic reticulosis, kabuki syndrome, and the syndrome of spastic paraparesis, vitiligo, premature graying and characteristic facies.|||I have had vitiligo for the past twenty years. I have never heard of it disappearing, I have 3 children and at the moment only one of my children has it. What did you use on your skin to make it go away ???|||www.vitiligosociety.org.uk

Can herpes be treated with the steroid creams typically used for eczema?

Any effective alternative remedies for eczema (steroid creams arent working)?
Hi my 3 year old daughter has lovely clear skin until about a month ago and now all of a sudden she has eczema (lumpy, itchy red rash) all down her arms, legs and on her cheeks. She has been prescribed 1% hydrocortisone cream and Doublebase but both seem to be completely ineffective. The Doublebase in fact, often makes her skin look more %26#039;angry%26#039;.
I took her to the doctors (for the 4th time about her skin) today and she has been given antibiotics for an infection that has got into a cut on her knee and caused lumpy painful sores with whiteheads down her leg (she looks like a right scab bag! :-( ). I am hoping that the antibiotics may be the cure she needs and that she will go back to having the lovely skin she had before, once the weeks antibiotic course has finished.
The doctor today said that there are no other remedies for her skin other than the prescribed creams but she is so itchy and uncomfortable-which as i said, dont apper to be working. Does anyone know of any other remedies that may help or soothe her skin? (preferably cheap ones!) Look forward to some effective, constructive ideas, thanks|||Eczeme is one of those conditions that GPs tend to neglect. Its difficult to treat at times, but she should grow out of it in time. Sometimes the most effective treatments are the simplest. I had the same as a child and my mother followed a religious routine for several months which soon cleared it up -
Twice a day (morning and night) cover her from head to toe in a simple moisturiser. If the duprobase isnt working then ask your GP for another. But do not use E45. Only put a very small amount of steriod cream on the bits that look the worst. These creams tend to be overused and less effective if too much is used.
Then at least once a day bath her in Oilatum bath oil. Let her sit in it for at least 10 minutes. The key to this is moisture. You have to keep her skin moisturised.
As well as this you might find that changing washing powders ASWELL will help. Change to non-bio or a powder designed for new borns is great. Try to find Filetti. Its what I used.
On top of that avoid all perfumed products, and avoid soap like the plague! If you do all this, eventually it will get better. The key is consistancy. Do it all the time and you%26#039;ll notice the difference. Good Luck x|||SPRING WATER! Believe it or not!

That should have all the answers you need. ^_^ They are mostly home remedies.|||ive just been to the dermatologist today it took 4 or more yrs for the doctor to refer me! your poor daughter i really feel for her , try to get referred asap , for now try using diprobase cream at night rub it all over its a good moisturizer too , im not sure if u can buy cotton gloves for youngsters but maybe you can get mittens (100% cotton) this might help stop her scratching in her sleep , a herbal alternative is Rhys Tox i found that quite calming its used for rheumatism but for some reason works well on skin prone to inflamed eczema.
hope this helps. x
Is it ok to take steroid pills, use steroid creams and take strong painkillers while pregnant?
My wife%26#039;s period is late and as we were not planning to conceive right now she has been taking regular steroid pills and using strong prescribed steroid cream on her hands. She also experiences terrible migraines at times and has taken strong painkillers, again prescribed, at least four times over the past month. We are concerned about what effect, if any, this could have on her pregnancy, which is obviously still in a very early stage. Any answers, or links to relevant pages, would be much appreciated.
Thank you.|||Only a Dr could answer this, but if you go to www.safefetus.com you can enter the names of her meds and it will tell you how safe it is during pregnancy. If it%26#039;s listed as a class D I would strongly suggest she not take them any longer until she knows for sure if she is pregnant.|||Better NO.
consulting a doc will help u.|||Come on ! What do you think ?|||All of what your wife has been using is unsafe during pregnancy. Even the hand cream. I couldn%26#039;t keep using mine once I found out I was pregnant. The strongest pain relief you can use is panadine. No nurofen, panadine forte etc. I would suggest she stop all of the medication and go see her doctor immediately to see if there;s something else she can take in replacement if she is indeed pregnant.|||need to consult doc. not sure abotu steroid thing (sure they cant be good)
but the only safe painkiller is paracetamol. Anything stronger you have to see a doc about asap
Ibuprofen, aspirin etc are BIG no nos|||The cream may be ok (read MAYBE) but the medication IS NOT!!!!!! Go and see your Doctor immediately because some drugs cause birth defects or malformations.

Phimosis and Steroid Creams - Not working? What next?
I%26#039;ve had phimosis for as long as I can remember. I talked to my Doctor who suggested using steroid creams. I%26#039;ve tried two without any success:
fluocinonide cream usp, 0.05% 2x day every other
Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream USP 2x/day
I%26#039;ve been applying to foreskin and rubbing it in. I%26#039;ve also tried stretching. It%26#039;s been a few months now with little improvement. I%26#039;ve only been able to retract fully a couple of times, usually by accident during sex, but it feels extremely tight and uncomfortable. The head is also extremely sensitive... what should I do? Is circumcision my only option now?|||Circumcision is certainly not the only (or even necessarily the best) option.
Maybe you weren%26#039;t stretching it properly; see link 1 for some good instructions. It could also take 1-3 months for the stretching to work.
Maybe you should switch to a different cream, as there are many different kinds. It%26#039;s still the most cost-effective method for treating phimosis (link 2).
You can even try combining the stretching and the cream. Together they may work quicker and better than either one separately, though it may still take about a month. Just be patient.
But if all else fails, there are still other options (link 3). See the other links for some helpful info. Look at the last one in particular, it%26#039;s a blog by a guy who had a problem similar to yours and how he dealt with it.
By the way, the glans (penis head) is supposed to be really sensitive. But you can get used to that once you%26#039;re able to pull your foreskin back and wash under it and such. Good luck with everything you try!|||of course ... consult your urologist before applying any advice you develop from here...
well... since the precautionary measures are not effective to you ... (or you may try to wait a few more months before doing anything ... something might improve...) but if not .. then the last resort is circumcision...
the dorsal slitting is ... hmmm... something... but it even looks more unappealing...
make sure that you have several feedbacks for the professional who will do the circumcision for you (do not go to any non professional) ... this is a simple nonlethal procedure...
but it depends on your locality.. in some places... the doctors have performed several circumcisions already ... and thus they are more experienced in doing this... 搂
you will be able to have a more relaxed sex after several months then...|||It sounds like you%26#039;re one of the few with such a bad condition. That cream works in over 95% of cases.
There%26#039;s a minor surgery called preputioplasty if you%26#039;d like to avoid circumcision. Google it and you%26#039;ll find plenty of links on it.|||the other answerers have been very complete in answering, I just wanted to reassure you that the head IS supposed to be very sensitive, in circumcised men it does desensitise due to constant exposure, but they lose sensitivity. My clitoris, for example, is also very sensitive, it much prefers to be touched under its hood, but I wouldn%26#039;t wish it to be uncovered all the time or for it to be any less sensitive because its very pleasurable when the time is right ;) Also, as the others have pointed out, there are MANY less drastic surgical cures, dorsal slit and prepustioplasty are just a few of many option. Discuss it with a surgeon who is experienced in these areas and make it clear that you want to KEEP your foreskin. -Neb|||You can keep going and it might work after a while especially if you keep having sex that could loosen it.
If not there is a dorsal slit, they cut the foreksin and that loosens it, but you still have it there so your glans is protected etc. and it%26#039;s less invasive than circumcision.

i have keratosis pilarsis i wanna get rid of so bad! my dermatolgist gave me steroid cream im just wondering since its %26quot;steroids%26quot; can it cause depression? cause if it does im going to try a find a new way to clear it|||topical steroids cannot cause depression.
and mind you, corticosteroids are different from anabolic steroids; so keep in mind that they have different effects on the body. don`t confuse the two. whatever stigmas one may have, the other doesn`t.

Does anyone have a cure for tennis elbow - tried CT cream which has helped - don't want to have steroids!?
And has anyone tried acupuncture for it please?! And did that help/cure it?!Have tried it for sciatica and it was brilliant!And wondered if it would work as well for this ailment!|||Unfortunately tennis elbow is a form of repetitive strain injury (RSI) and you can and do get this from working at at computer.
Contact the RSI Association for full information (google RSI). In the meantime, I found seeing an osteopath very very helpful, both for realigning the bones in the arms (if they are even slightly out this will create additional pressure on your elbow and wrist joints) and also for alleviating the muscle pain and reducing inflammation.
In addition to this, rest is good (yes I hear what you say about having to work....I%26#039;ve been there too on this one....!). You need to seriously think about all the things you use your arms/hands for in your life (housework, cleaning the car, gardening, driving, walking the dog, decorating.....) and CUT DOWN on everything. Simply cutting back on just the computer work is not enough, especially if you are using your arms/hands for other things. Seriously, a little rest now on all of it, will pay dividends in the future, don%26#039;t let it get so bad (like I did) that you are seriously hampered in all aspects of your life.
Apart from that, regular breaks (from whatever you are doing) are a good idea. I personally haven%26#039;t tried acupuncture, but it may well worth too.|||I suffered terribly with tennis elbow and like you did not want steroids, tho they are good. Ask your doc to refer you to have some remedial splints fitted. They are soft supports and they re-educate the muscles to return to thier correct position. The only thing is that for a while the splints cause a bit of pain but its worth it. I had this about 6 years ago and it has never returned. I had tennis elbow very badly so give it a go but you will need to persevere with it.|||Wise not to go down the steroid route as it is a short term solution with longer term problems. As you%26#039;ve tried acupuncture before with good effects, go there again. Acupuncture has a great track record with tennis elbow - as do osteopathy, chiropractic %26amp; homoeopathy.|||Rest - give your elbow a chance to heal!|||Stop playing tennis!|||Tennis elbow are strained ligaments from the hand to the elbow.I had it myself from taking a homerun swing but missed.Unfortunatlly it is a TIME injury.I had to wait 6-8 weeks.There is no fast cure and I know it hurts,its just a matter of time before it goes away.|||I went and saw a chiropractor which was the best help. He got me some sort of strap to wear on my arm. After being in pain for so long this really helped.|||Accupuncture can work wonders, especially as it has worked for you before. Alternatively, try a chiropracter - they sorted it out for my wife in just one visit!
