Alcoholism may make your thigh muscles spasm. Dehydration can cause thigh cramping. Parkinson's disease could also cause thigh cramps. Endocrine disorders such as diabetes and hypothyroidism can cause thigh cramps. Neuromuscular disorders such as neuropathy might make your thigh muscles cramp. Just as certain medical conditions can cause thigh cramps, some medications will make you more prone to these muscle spasms. Knowing what medications can cause cramps can help you or your doctor identify their cause and decide upon the best treatment options. Diuretics such as Lasix can make you more prone to thigh cramping. Aricept for Alzheimer's disease may cause thigh cramps. Procardia for angina and high blood pressure can cause your thigh muscles to cramp. Proventil or Ventolin for asthma can make you more susceptible to thigh cramps.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Print out a picture of a head. Laminate the paper. Fill a large jar with water. Place the picture into the jar. Set the jar anywhere you want.

Answer: If you have exceptional photoshop skills, you can use a front and side view of your face to create a 3D image. Or you can download a readymade one here: http://www.instructables.com/files/orig/F53/QS3Z/HSVGCE57/F53QS3ZHSVGCE57.pdf. The illusion may work best if you print onto legal size paper. Make sure you print in color for the best looking picture. It's going to use a lot of ink, so make sure all of your ink cartridges are full enough. You will be submerging the image in a jar of water, so laminating it is important or the paper will just dissolve. Once the image is laminated, you can carefully trim any excess lamination from the outside of the image. Don't cut too close to the paper. If you have access to a lamination machine, this is a good option, but if not you can get large laminating sheets at craft stores or stores that sell craft supplies. A gallon size jar is the best option since it will appear to be the right size for a head. Fill the jar mostly full with water. For added effect, put a few drops of yellow and green food coloring in the jar. It will give the water a rotting look. Make sure to use a jar with a lid so that you don't make a mess. A glass jar with a hinged lid will give the illusion a look of being really old. Take the laminated picture and curl it up. Slide it into the jar so that it wraps around the inside, pressing against the jar. It doesn't need to be pressed tightly, so it if floats more in the middle, that's okay too. You may find that you need to adjust the size of the jar for the size of the picture that you printed out. You want the picture to fill most of the jar for the illusion to be convincing. One great thing about this decoration is that you can set it up in a lot of different places. You could put it in the fridge if people will be getting food or drinks from there. You can set it out on the counter or on an end table in your living room.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Give your dog the painkillers the vet gives you. Look for signs that your dog is in pain. Contact your vet if you think your dog is in severe pain. Call the vet if you notice serious symptoms.

Answer: As with any major surgical procedure, it is important to make sure the patient is not in pain. Most clinics use a combination of painkillers (an opioid and a non-steroidal) on the day of surgery, and send your dog home with an oral painkiller to continue taking at home. Keep in mind that some dogs are more sensitive and will feel more pain than others. The average length of time that pain relief is required is generally four to five days, but your dog may need more or less time. Do not use any unprescribed painkillers without veterinary advice. Each dog reacts differently to pain; some become vocal and whine, while others withdraw and try to hide. General signs of discomfort are listed below:: Restlessness: Pacing, inability to settle, and sitting down and then standing again, can all be signs of discomfort. Vocalization: Whining and crying. This is sometimes an attempt to get attention rather than a sign of pain. Try to avoid fussing over the dog when she cries; if she learns that you will not reward her, but continues to whine, she is probably in pain. Body Posture: A dog in pain often wears a "miserable" expression with tipped down ears, doleful eyes and a lowered head. Her body is often hunched and she may not be able to lie in her favorite position. Behavior: Some dogs change behavior when in pain, of which one example is becoming snappy or aggressive. Other dogs withdraw, as if trying to hide away from the pain. Not eating or drinking: Some dogs (especially Labradors) eat no matter what, but others go off their food if uncomfortable. If you feel you dog does not have adequate pain relief, contact the clinic. There are other painkillers, such as tramadol, which can be added to the NSAID prescription to top up her pain control. Most veterinarians want to schedule a check-up between three and ten days after the operation. However, should you become concerned before this, always contact the surgery for advice. Signs to watch for include: Not eating or drinking after 48 hours: Your dog should be eating by now and could be in pain if she is not. Don't wait the extra day before seeking advice. A discharge from the wound: A healing wound is usually dry. If there is a discharge, especially blood or pus, seek advice. Sickness or diarrhea: Sometimes the anesthetic agents can cause tummy upsets in sensitive animals, however, in a pet that has had recent surgery, bring her to the vet if you see that she is nauseous. Weakness, lethargy, or a swollen tummy: If your dog seems weak and is not recovering her energy, or if her figure changes and her tummy looks swollen, seek immediate vet advice.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drink adequate water. Prepare a baking soda solution. Steer clear of bladder irritants. Sip some ginger tea. Use horseradish as a food garnish. Mix cream of tartar with warm water and lemon juice.

Answer:
Drinking plenty of water when you have a UTI can help your body to flush out bacteria; however, you may want to consult your doctor about how much water you should drink each day. Drinking too much water can dilute any antibiotics that your doctor has prescribed. Drinking a baking soda solution once per day may help to relieve the burning sensation that comes along with a UTI. Mix 1 tsp of baking soda into an 8 oz glass of water until the baking soda has dissolved. Then drink the whole glass. This solution will alkalinize the urine and decrease the pain as the urine passes. You may want to skip this treatment if you are on a low-sodium diet because baking soda has a high sodium content. While you are dealing with a UTI, avoid certain foods and drinks that may cause spasms of the bladder. Pass on coffee, alcohol, chocolate, and soft drinks that have caffeine and/or citrus flavors while you have a UTI. These foods and beverages may make your UTI worse. Ginger tea has anti-inflammatory properties and it may help to reduce some of the pain and discomfort caused by a urinary tract infection. Ginger inhibits prostaglandin release in much the same way as NSAIDs. You can buy ginger tea in the store or just pour a cup of boiling water over a few pieces of crushed ginger in a mug. Horseradish may help to kill the bacteria that cause a UTI. Add about a teaspoon of freshly grated horseradish to food as a garnish or create a horseradish solution to drink. To create a solution, mix teaspoon of grated horseradish with water. Eat or drink the horseradish, but be ready with a glass of milk to follow it up. Horseradish is very hot and you may need some milk to counter the sensation of heat. A mixture of cream of tartar, warm water, and lemon juice also has bactericidal properties. Mix 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar with about one cup of warm water. Then, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the mixture. Drink the whole solution one to two times per day.
