Q: In most cases, your back pain will go away with home treatment and self-care. However, this isn't always the case, and you may need additional treatment.

Back pain that gets worse when you bend, lift, stand, or walk. Back pain that feels better when you lie down. Try not to worry, but these symptoms may be a sign of a more serious condition. Your doctor can figure out what's causing your symptoms and can recommend the best treatments for you. See your doctor immediately to get the treatment you need. Tell your doctor how long you've been experiencing these symptoms. While you likely don't need to worry, back pain can sometimes be a sign of a more serious condition. If this is the case, you may need additional treatment. Visit your doctor or go to an emergency room if you have the following symptoms: Bowel or bladder problemsespecially if you can't control urination. Fever. Back injury from a fall or accident. If you have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, are older than 50, or have a bone or joint disorder, the back pain is more likely to get out of control if you don't get a thorough exam. Additionally, if you have a family history of cancer, back pain may be an early sign of spinal, colon, or ovarian cancer. You're probably fine, but it's a good idea to get screened just to be safe. It's rare for back pain to be a sign of cancer, but it's worth checking out if the back pain came out of nowhere and wasn't triggered by physical activity. Your doctor will review your symptoms and do a physical exam. Then, they may order some simple diagnostic tests. Most of these tests will be non-invasive and painless, but you may experience some discomfort. After the tests, talk to your doctor about your diagnosis. For instance, your doctor will probably do an imaging test. You may need to complete an X-ray, MRI, CT scan, or ultrasound. In some cases, your doctor may inject you with a contrast dye so they can look for back problems, like a herniated disc, fracture, or spondylolisthesis. Your doctor can tell you about all of your treatment options. For minor back pain, exercise and over-the-counter pain relievers may be enough to help your back pain. However, they may prescribe additional medication or recommend physical therapy. For severe cases, your doctor may recommend you get surgery, but only as a last resort. Try not to worry because you have a lot of treatment options. Your doctor can help you figure out what's best for you.

Q: Hold your infant and cuddle him. Do your best to calm and sooth him when he is fidgety. Some infants with CP are happier in a swing or crib during fussy periods. Talk, sing and play with your infant. Regardless of the possibility of CP, these activities are very important in the development of any infant. It is common for CP infants to experience feeding problems, so it's important to monitor your baby's weight gain. If your infant cannot support his head or sit during bath time, be sure to use a baby seat with a slight slope. Get one that will support his head and back during the bath. There is always the risk of your CP infant having a seizure. Make certain he is safe and cannot harm himself during a seizure. Remain with him until the seizure is over. Knowing how to deal with seizures is a vital part of your infant's care. As your infant begins eating solid food, she may be more prone to swallowing difficulties, making choking more of a concern. Special vitamin supplements can help fight colds and other respiratory infections. An infant with CP is more prone to infection and may have a suppressed immune system.
A: Find a pediatrician who specializes in CP or who has experience in treating infants with CP. Nurture your infant just like you would nurture any other infant. Weigh your infant weekly. Keep your infant safe during bath time. Provide supervision and a safe environment for an infant with cerebral palsy. Monitor your infant to ensure that she does not choke during feeding. Make sure your infant gets proper nutritional support.

Q: Set a medium saucepan on the stove and pour in 8 cups (1,900ml) of chicken broth. Turn the burner on low and let the broth heat up. Keep the heat on low while you begin the risotto. The broth should be about the same temperature as the rice in order to make the risotto creamy. This is why it's important to not add cold or boiling hot stock. If you'd like to make the risotto vegetarian, substitute vegetable stock for the chicken broth. Remove 1 cup (240ml) of the broth and pour it into a bowl. Add 1 ounce (28 g) of dried porcini mushrooms and stir them so they begin to absorb the hot broth. Leave the mushrooms to rehydrate for 20 minutes and then drain them. Keep soaking the mushrooms until they're soft. Pour 1 tablespoon (15ml) of the olive oil into a large skillet and turn the burner to medium. Once the oil shimmers, stir in 1/2 of the diced onion and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir and cook the mixture until the onion softens and becomes clear. Stir the onion and garlic frequently to prevent it from sticking and burning to the bottom of the skillet. Slice 1 pound (450g) of fresh portobello and crimini mushrooms into 1/2 in (1.3 cm) thick pieces. Add them to the skillet along with 2 bay leaves, 2 tablespoons (7 g) of chopped fresh thyme, 2 tablespoons (7.5 g) of fresh chopped Italian parsley, and 2 tablespoons (28 g) of butter. Use a mix of portobello and crimini. If you only have one type of mushroom, use a full pound (450 g) of whichever kind you have. Keep the burner at medium heat and cook the vegetables and herbs until the mushrooms are lightly browned. Stir in a little salt and pepper to taste. If the mushrooms look like they're browning too quickly, you may need to adjust the burner. Pour 1 tablespoon (15ml) of truffle oil into the skillet and stir in the rehydrated porcini mushrooms. Add more salt and pepper according to your taste and let the mixture cook for 1 minute. Turn off the burner and set the mushroom mixture aside. If you don't have truffle oil, you can leave it out since it's purely to add extra-mushroom flavor. Or, you can try making your own truffle oil.
A:
Heat the chicken broth in a pot over low heat. Soak the dried mushrooms in 1 cup (240ml) of the broth for 20 minutes. Saute 1/2 of the onion and 1 clove of garlic for 5 minutes. Add the fresh mushrooms, bay, thyme, parsley, and butter. Saute the mushroom and onion mixture for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the truffle oil and rehydrated mushrooms.
